These are so cool! Indeed, very Seuss-like.

Yes, namitha! I had forgotten to update this spotting, but you're right with liverwort gametophyte! :)

It definitely looks very much like a liverwort gametophyte. Very interesting find.

Looks like something from Horton Hears a Who. Very cool little plants.
