I recently unearthed an old photo album of macrophotos of mosses shot years ago (before digicams) on 35mm with the 55mm Nikon Macro lens. Now that I have stacking and microscopes at my bidding, I'm resuming my bryophitic explorations. Our property is rich in mosses. While I am far from ID-ing genus or species, I will open each post with macros followed by micros. There will be only one species in each post.
Gametophyte - The tear-shaped body at the tip is the venter and the dark circle in the venter is the zygote.
