    I'm wondering, when trying to identify mosses and fungi do you also get that feeling of it being just you and 3 other people in the online world? I've definitely experienced that, yet I embrace my weird interests. Posted 10 years ago

      We have so much of it around here that there are a few people who take an interest. The information for the three new ones I posted came from a university web site just over the border in British Columbia. They offer a class called Biology 321 – Morphology and Evolution of Bryophytes. Looks pretty interesting - they even take 8 field trips to observe first hand.
      What really gets hard are the slime molds… those definitely seem like there are maybe 3 people out there who really study them and I'm not sure how much those people even know…
      What's most enjoyable to me is that now I pay attention… I never really thought about just how many different mosses and little plants could grow on one log until I looked with a critical eye.       Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

        It definitely seems you live around a huge hotspot. I can really relate to the new awareness you describe, things you would normally walk by without being aware of their existence, and now it seems every inch is interesting.

        Anyways, please do keep up your pioneering work!

        One small request, can you have a look at these of your photos, to see if they are shot in the USA, and if so, link it to the country?
