Moss and lichen on trunks and vine :) #mosstodon #LichenSubscribe #BlueMountains

Between two moss- and lichen-spotted tree trunks writhes a thick vine also dappled with pale powdery lichen and lime green moss. Dharug and Gundungurra country.

It has been a fungal fall in NorCal. In Willow Creek this morning. Running through wet fern jungles, redwood and bays. And the mushroom jungles shine below.

I love how violently red the leaves are right now, and how green the moss

I gasped when I saw this

#mushtodon #fungiverse #sporespondence #mushrooms #mosstodon

the exposed roots of a large maple tree on the side of a stream bank. Water can be seen under the roots. Several large orange mushrooms are blossoming out of the roots.

I’m working on more moss embroideries right now, and also writing an article that will be published in Spring 2026 (I’ll share it then!).

Since I get easily burnt out doing the same thing over and over, I’m thinking about adding some variety. Maybe a tapestry, painting, stamp-making, or something else entirely. I might be headed towards making a sort of 'bonbon shop of art' instead of fully focusing on embroidery. Just creating small things that make life better.

#WIP #art #mosstodon

An embroidery hoop holding four textured moss embroideries in different shades of green. Each circular patch is densely stitched and layered to resemble natural mossy mounds, with varied stitches and bead details. A needle and loose green thread rest nearby.

Close-up of one moss embroidery in the hoop. The patch is a mix of soft green wool, textured stitches, and tiny details, resembling a tuft of moss with small white mushroom-like shapes growing from it.

Waxcaps are tiny bursts of color you often see at this time of the year. Red, yellow, green, gray, purple… but it’s the orange ones I most enjoy. Especially when in a mound of lush moss.

They can be a bear to ID as many species have a large range of color over their short lifespans. Field guides often differ in the colors they depict.

I’m happy just to see them on my hikes.

Sitting on a bright green mound of moss is an out of focus pinecone with its open end angled toward the camera, and a small mushroom. The mushroom is about 1.5 inches high with an orange waxy looking stem and a reddish orange waxy looking cap. In the background are various low woody shrubs and leafed trees.

A pretty little patch of Xanthoria Parietine #lichen. I think I'm growing a little Shrek in my garden.

Yesterday I posted some #moss pictures from my lunchtime walk; that's currently the most-boosted toot I've had on Mastodon!

So here's some more - same walk, different bits of #mosses, #lichens, and #frosty leaves. Enjoy.

Some moss at Beacon Hill Park
#mosstodon #BeaconHillPark #VictoriaBC

A patch of moss growing on the side of a tree. The sun is behind, and the tree is dark, as well as some other trees in the background, and the moss sporophytes are brightly illuminated. They're red at the base, shifting to orange then yellow, and then there are dark pointy tips.

With all the idiocy going on in the USA right now, I am so grateful to those individuals posting pictures of dogs, cats, moss and other interesting things on here.

Cleaned up and moved the dormant Drosera paradoxa (sundew) into a new pot. It's in an open glass container until the ambient humidity in this room goes up. This one came out of dormancy mid going into late March last year (see link at https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/112169585969118118), but it can vary. As I am doing with a few other plants, I top dressed it with chopped fresh sphagnum moss that I keep in a jar.

Small Drosera Paradoxa in hibernation. The old traps have been trimmed off and it is in a fresh pot with a top dressing of sphagnum moss.

Did you ever gild #moss? I did! Look behind the scenes of producing my podcast episode about moss and how moss took revenge (I don't know why): https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/5d8402be-ad02-4d23-8c3b-4e42daf6a9b0 Of course you can listen to the episode now! And I interviewed a quite seditious tardigrade!
