We're experiencing a brief relief from the cold here in Wisconsin (it's 43°F today!) so I took the opportunity to wander around in the woods. I'm super surprised how much healthy, green moss persists through winter. Do mosses stay active even under the snow, or am I witnessing a warmer weather green up? 🤔

Tucked into bed with a heating blanket on my feet and a book in my hands. All that's missing is a kitty cat to come cuddle and I will have peaked.

Oh, wait, Max has arrived! 😻

Extremely excited to have found #mosstodon and #mushtodon! I'm still in the "frolic in the woods and squee at all the little growing things" part of my journey, but I'm slowly working on my identification and photography skills. Here's a few fungi finds from this season: artist's bracket and common puffball mushrooms growing in what I think is a club moss.
