Biòleg especialitzat en l'estudi de la distribució i ecologia de briòfits, i professor de botànica a la Universitat de Girona. Ara, intentant explicar algunes coses de briòfits (molses i hepàtiques) per aquí.
Thank you for your words!

Macro photograph of Springy Turf Moss (Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus), a moss bryophyte forming a dense colony among blades of lawn grass in Devon. The yellowish-green moss grows in upright shoots that can reach around 10 cm tall, though here only the upper tips are visible between the grass stems. Each shoot rises from a reddish stem, and the pointed leaves bend sharply backwards at almost right angles, so that each shoot ends in a tiny soft star of pale yellow-green leaves. The many shoots crowd together into a thick carpet beneath the grass. When walked on, colonies of this moss feel soft and springy underfoot, giving the lawn a spongy texture. Dew droplets cling to the grass blades and moss tips, catching the light so that the surface appears bright, soft, and faintly glittering, scattered with dozens of miniature star shapes.
Some of the colony of Springy Turf Moss (Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus) that has taken over the village hall yard here in Devon.
The tiny star-like shapes are the moss leaves, bent sharply backwards.

It's always a pleasure to find fertile plants of Ptychostomum capillare (Hedw.) Holyoak & N.Pedersen, today on granite rocks near Sant Climent Sescebes (province of Girona, NE Spain, near the border with France).

Planta de Ptychostomum capillare amb càpsules joves, algunes encara amb la caliptra.
Planta de Ptychostomum capillare en estat sec. Aquesta espècie, típica de substrats silicis, es diferencia de P. torquescens (calcícola) pels seus fil·lidis amb tendència a cargolar-se en hèlix.
Sempre és un plaer trobar-se amb plantes fèrtils de Ptychostomum capillare, avui sobre roques granítiques exposades vora Sant Climent Sescebes (Alt Empordà).

The moss TORTULA MURALIS, with abundant capsules, growing on rocks in the "Mas de Melons" natural reserve, near Lleida (NE Iberian Peninsula). #bryophytes #mosses

La era de la desinformación 🤦
Ante el video de un misil impactando en un edificio, la IA de Eloncio insiste en que se trata de la celebración de las Fallas de Valencia.

Yes, Rhizomnium punctatum.
Happy to find, again, the thalloid liverwort OXYMITRA INCRASSATA, near Begur (NE Spain), at the same place where I found it 20 years ago. #bryophytes #liverworts
Oxymitra incrassata, una hepàtica tal·losa, vista avui al mateix lloc on la vaig trobar fa uns 20 anys, prop de Begur. #hepàtiques #briòfits
El deuen haver triat perquè ja fa Cannas.
New spanish bryological records! @sebriologia.bsky.social
We report Grimmia decipiens new for Palencia, Marchantia polymorpha subsp. montivagans for Madrid, Orthotrichum pulchellum for A Coruña, and Trichostomum meridionale for Ciudad Real, but there are many other noteworthy records.
Have a look!

Thank you 😀
A common, but beautiful species: Funaria hygrometrica Hedw., with young sporophytes.
Location: Santa Caterina valley, Montgrí massif, 80 m. a.s.l., province of Girona, NE Spain. Growing on disturbed soil next to an artificial pond, February 2026.

Algunes fotos d'ahir de FUNARIA HYGROMETRICA, una molsa comuna però igualment bonica. Vall de Santa Caterina, massís del Montgrí, en sòl argilós i exposat vora una bassa artificial.
Ho celebren amb un bon plat de calamarsa la romana.
Four common #mosses from my area (Kicin, western Poland): Plagiomnium affine, Polytrichum formosum, Atrichum undulatum, and Dicranum cf. scoparium.

Trees thickly covered with green moss
Trees covered with heavy moss, sometimes breaking. More are leaning all over rainforests.
🌱 Record warmth late fall and early winter, switched to soggy boggy froggy Oregon. The result is the heaviest lichen and moss growth I’ve ever seen (Western OR), even weighing down old trees helping them rot, sag and fall.
A cute member of the Funariaceae with distinctive capsules.
Its capsules are nearly spherical, pear-shaped, and have stalks over 5mm long—could this be "Physcomitrium eurystomum Sendtn."?
Though commonly found throughout Japan except Hokkaido, spotting it always feels like a lucky find.
Thanks for sharing!
