Orthotrichum epiphytic bryophyte
In a dense thicket near a small creek up in a tree.
That is a good idea for photographs, thanks! Being the word nerd that I am, my new list will be in your name with a slash followed by non-vasculars!
what is nice for looking at bryophytes in the field is a hand lens. 10- 20x will help you allot, they aren't too pricey either.
Thanks!! I was combed in thick among the brush! It was an arm length in height above me! I'm going to look that up now! Thanks so much!
its a bit difficult to distinguish from the shading, but these look to resemble a species of Orthotrichum: a very epiphytic bryophyte in North America. Its especially common on hardwoods.
