    Can you recommend a book of lichens and mosses in New England or just Maine? Thank you. Bob

    I thought those Berenstain Bears books were a little far-fetched. But apparently you really can live in a tree! Cool. Love the pin cushion moss. We characterize moss as random, haphazard, formless, but this species is anything but that. Such a beautiful symmetry in an otherwise haphazard genus. Just add water!

    Love mosses. And ferns. Something peaceful about them. Thanks for the pix.
