Bryophyte photo of the week
Breutelia chrysocoma
A beautiful, quite large moss that occurs in flushes and wet places. This was found up a burn near Cairnbaan on a steeply sloping bank. It made it easy to photograph as I could get numerous stems in focus.
It has a very restricted distribution in Europe, liking the mild and wet climate of the extreme west of the continent. Needless to say, it's relatively frequent here in Argyll.
You can find more images of Bryophytes, mainly from Argyll, in my album at:
