For people on the forum from the UK, this is a useful resource for identifying common mosses. Types of moss: everything you need to know
Well, I have just learned from that one that I have some more posts to consider moving - "horsetails ... were once called "fern allies" but are now known to fall within ferns". And I learned some more words: "some of the other 'fern allies,' specifically clubmosses, spikemosses, and quillworts". For a moderator, I probably know as little about this area as anyone off the street, but I do know how to move postings. I thought I would at least learn whether it's "club moss" or "clubmoss", but I'm finding a lot of both.
E-Flora BC could be a good resource for native mosses. E-Flora BC Bryophytes Page However, I notice that this link on the intro page isn't working: To visit the E-Flora BC atlas pages for mosses, click here. A message comes up "Your query was incorrectly formed." I have emailed to ask if it will be restored so, if you do want to include this site, it may be better to wait until the links are working properly. The way it stands now is that you need to know the genus of the plant (moss, fern, etc.) you are looking for before you know what you are looking for. Here's another neat site I just discovered via E-Flora BC: Ways of Enlichenment - Table of Contents with over 11,000 photographs.
Thanks, Margot. The Ways of Enlichenment page is already on Fungus and Lichen Resources on the Web and in Print | UBC Botanical Garden Forums. @Frog, you could copy the E-Flora entry from the Mosses resource and paste it into the Fungus resource, just change the focus from Bryophytes to Fungi, Lichens and Slime Molds (separate categories on E-Flora). If you think it's worth including.
