Field Notes

Description:

Short moss of the genus of Tortula. Typical for the Tortula is the shape of the leaves, like twinsting teeth of a saw - which gave it the German name of "Drehzahn-Moos" (best traslated with "twisting tooth moss")

Super photos Lars. These mosses are so interesting close up.

Actually these effects tend to drag my attention more and more - starting to take closer looks on mosses...which is really a tough nut...very confusing part of nature.
