User's notes

Suggestive of looking down on a cluster of miniature pine trees, these mosses have short stems (approx 3 mm) and are very even in their distribution of leaves. However they may be related to / be the same Sp as those at sightings 4649605, 4649608, and less likely, 4649636. Again as with all my ‘shade cloth canopy’ * moss sightings, I know little about mosses so there is high risk that I’m conflating species whether within or across sightings. The other sightings relevant to that comment are: 4649572, 4649587, 4649598 (this one), 4649599, 4649605, 4649625, 4649639 & 4649653. * The shade cloth canopy itself collapsed a few years ago and a substantial amount of leaf litter has accumulated in the depression formed in the top, with several ferns & other plants colonizing the underside, rooting deep into the leaf litter, whilst the lichens and to some extent, mosses are mostly on the more exposed areas, where there is less/no leaf litter.
