Discover the enchanting world of Polytrichum commune, the largest British moss, nestled among the ancient ivy leaves and Feather moss (Thuidium) in the lush, mossy landscapes of Snowdonia, north Wales. Bryophyta mosses thrive in this wild, untouched environment, where Dandelions and Rough Sowthistles bloom, and Common Horsetails (Equisetum arvense) with their barren shoots (Equisetum arvense var. Spicatum) form a striking contrast. Keep an eye out for the Hairy Leg Bell (Galerina vittiformis) hiding between the flowering Bristly Haircap (Polytrichum piliferum). In colder climates, Iceland Moss (Cetraria islandica) and various fungi, including the Toadstool, add to the diverse mossy tapestry. And for the more adventurous, the Mountain Moss Psilocybe (Deconica montana) and the Male shoot of cord moss (Funaria spp.) await discovery in unexpected places, like the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen in Noord-Holland, where they are often covered in ice crystals.
