Woe is Moss

I thought there were just a couple of species back in the swamp and wet edges of the cedar bush, I thought they'd be easy to identify. Wrong on both counts.




Let's call it moss 1--I don't know if the darker slimy stuff is part of it, or another moss. It was definitely associated with it, not accidental to it.


I chose three that seemed to me to be both common and distinctive (and a fourth, some kind of tiny-leafed aquatic plant), photographed them and came home to identify them.

Moss 2 seems like a good name for this one.


Juniper moss? I don't know. How about moss 3?


This looks something like baby's tears (Soleirolia soleirolii)

Turns out I have no eye for moss.
