Who needs flowers when you have bryophytes and lichen?

Chilling amidst the bryophytes

Leiobunum blackwalli

A fragment of the sessile oak woods rich in bryophytes of the southwest at Lickeen Wood, Co. Kerry. It's free from overbrowsing due to a fence and steep rock face, allowing tall bilberry and heather establish with nice displays of common cow-wheat in the field layer. 08/22

Dr. Joanne Denyer presenting on how great Ireland is for Bryophytes! Also very fitting as it's on National Moss Day! #BSBIAutumnMeeting #NationalMossDay

I had a long weekend in Scotland, losing myself in the wonders of their Atlantic rainforest's. I went mainly for the bryophytes, but it was the beautiful lichens that really struck me. Here is a thread of some of the species I saw (assuming I have identified them correctly!) 🧵

Formation of the mineral brochantite on bryophytes overflown with acidic Cu-rich mine waste at the Mamut Copper Mine in Sabah (Malaysia).

Although infested it is still a great site and example of what we are pushing to save. Definitely a temperate rainforest, with beautiful species such as Tunbridge filmy fern and abundance of interesting bryophytes (2/2)

Rose-moss (Rhodobryum roseum). Always nice to see this uncommon and distinctive species, classified as Near Threatened on the red list of bryophytes in Ireland. Unusual to see it growing epiphytically like this on a tree base? Cappaghabaun Mountain, East Clare

The University of Copenhagen Herbarium (C) houses c. 2.6 million specimens of vascular plants, bryophytes, algae, fungi and lichens from all parts of the world with over 20,000 known type specimens

In New Zealand we have also enjoyed many interesting #bryophytes ! How about a short thread of endemic or nearly endemic #mosses and #liverworts ?

This is /Treubia lacunosa/, in the Haplomitriopsida, the clade sister to all other liverworts, with bizarre anatomy

El briòfit de la setmana és EULADIUM VERTICILLATUM. Amb fil·lidis molt linials, és propi de comunitats fontinals i ambients molt humits calcícoles. Forma gespes compactes i és fácil de diferenciar d'altres espècies quan es cobreix de crostres de mineralització #bryophytes

Epiphyllous lichens are quite common. For epiphyllous growth they do not seem to need such high humidity as do bryophytes. Here are Physcia tenella and a Xanthoria species on silver fir leaves in woodland in East Lothian, Scotland. Photo taken yesterday.

Dear #SMBE2023 Ferrara community,
If you are interested in #plants #bryophytes #pangenome #genetics and #adaptation ,
please make a stop this evening 6-8PM at Chloé B poster 353 (San paolo cloistet).
She introduces the first #pangenome of a non-vascular plant #Marchantia .

#EarthWeek One of the earliest Irish women scientists was cryptogamic botanist Ellen Hutchins. An expert on mosses, bryophytes & lichens, her specimens and records are still preserved in his herbarium at the Royal Botanic Garden in Kew
