Tähtiharmosammal (Hedwigia stellata)Havainnoija
amanda_hKuvaus
Relatively large, acrocarpous moss, very light grey-green when dry - almost skeletal looking. Leaves neatly overlapping when dry, spreading and concave when wet. Leaves white (hyaline) and tapered at tip. Perichaetial leaves surrounding immersed sporophyte capsules have very long marginal cilia. Papillae on laminal cells are highly branched with those branches of irregular lengths. Papillae on hyaline cells have some small low papillae and some long spiky papillae. Growing on sloping side of boulder, fairly exposed but in some shade of other boulders and oaks.

This moss looked a bit like Silvery Bryum, but the color was definitely off. I looked through the Bryum genus and found B. miniatum on iNat, with observations from the Pacific Northwest. Per https://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_moss_treatment.pl?taxon=Bryum%20miniatum it’s also present in CA. @mossgeek, what do you think?

I occasionally find these cute little balls of moss on the patio. I finally figured out that they are washing down the rain gutter. Just had a big rain.

Quite sturdy, fairly broad lanceolate leaves on this moss. Under the microscope you can see that its leaves are two cell layers thick unlike most mosses whose leaves are a single cell layer thick.
