| Rambling Tail-moss |
After gaining permission to look at Stout Hall woodland yesterday in rather miserable conditions, we were very impressed by the growth of mosses on secret garden wall; the bulging cushions of
Rambling Tail-moss (
Anomodon viticulosus) being particularly impressive. Other conspicuous associates here included
Flat Neckera (
Neckera complanata),
Fox-tail Feather-moss (
Thamnobryum alopecurum) and
Tender Feather-moss (
Rhynchostegiella tenella). On a nearby Sycamore the raspberry-like perithecial stage (the sexual spore producing) of the pathogenic fungus
Coral Spot (
Nectria cinnabarinna s.l.) was evident on many of its twigs.
