Many wonderful bryophytes were seen at the Devon Bryophyte Group meeting in Torquay today, most of which defeated my limited photography skills, but this Marchesinia mackaii was more obliging

Even if not a first, that’s got to be pretty unusual for a bryology meeting 😄

It's "wildflower" season again on social media. Great colourful displays BUT issues which need to be raised : 1) They are often not WILDFLOWERS 2) They are not the best for INSECTS, they may be (not always) to POLLINATORS 3) They certainly aren't MEADOWS Let me explain 1/n

A couple of nice species from the upper reaches of the Lynher today - Schistostega pennata in the depths of a rabbit burrow and parches of Cephalozia curvifolia on a dead tree. @BBSbryology

This lovely rainforest tree, growing along the Dart river, really wants you to sign this petition to protect & restore Britain's lost rainforests: petition.parliament.uk/petit… (So does the Sticta fuliginosa lichen growing on its trunk)
