Assignment on Mosses & Lichens

For an university assignment I had to study mosses & lichens for a few days. Ofcourse I added them on iNaturalist, and in this journal post are all the things I encountered! I found out it's pretty difficult to ID mosses, and the AI kind of smells on my various ID-ing apps.

I never realised how diverse mosses & lichens can be. It was quite fun to study the difference between the moss-lichen ratio in two different areas on the Netherlands. Near the dune area (where I live) there were way more mosses compared to lichens than in the urban area close to Schiphol where my group mate lives.

I learned a lot and I don't think I'll skip mosses & lichens again when walking in nature! :-)
