Blogger won't let me use italiacs in the title. I finally found the other dung moss that grows on the east side of the Olympics. Tayloria serrata, no sporophytes though. It caught my eye due to it's dark green color. I was looking for dung mosses as I knew I was in the right habitat zone. I picked up this moss and with my hand lens I could see the serrated leaves so I was pretty sure I had Taylora serrata. But this was a few weeks ago on the Church creek trail and I only got around to inspecting it with my microscope today.
I've been too busy with mushrooms to spend much time on moss lately, but I know that will change when mushroom season ends.
