How should I keep spores of Marchantia polymorpha subsp. ruderalis? Although I have kept them at -30˚C for 1-2 months, they don't germinate so far.

Not moss, but liverworts (Marchantiophyta) are thalloid green plants, one of the oldest and most primitive terrestrial plants in terms of evolution. Lophocolea heterophylla is very small and its leaves are thin and translucent. Found on dead oak wood in a […]

The Hoh Rainforest is a very lush place. It's so wet that clouds of water vapor rise from anyplace the sun hits. It has so much life that moss even grows on the logs which have been polished by the butts of up to 25,000 people a day. I'm grateful there was just a fraction of that there today.

I think this succulent looking liverwort is Lesser Featherwort (Plagiochila porelloides), it is growing abundantly on the bank of a stream in acidic woodland in Devon.

I HAD to stop on this road winding through the Ow Valley in Co. Wicklow. The bare trees were draped in bright, vivid green moss, turning the quiet road into an ethereal emerald tunnel.

A common, but beautiful species: Funaria hygrometrica Hedw., with young sporophytes. Location: Santa Caterina valley, Montgrí massif, 80 m. a.s.l., province of Girona, NE Spain. Growing on disturbed soil next to an artificial pond, February 2026.

There were about a dozen of these little ferns growing from a Devon stone wall. Rustyback Fern (Asplenium ceterach), a resilient species that copes with dry mortar and summer drought.

Another street tree epiphyte that's becoming more common in London - Orthotrichum tenellum forms small neat cushions with notably long capsules and calyptra. The leaf tips also have a distinctive beak at the end. Another bryophyte taking advantage of the cleaner air!

What looks like a glowing energy ball on my wall is likely Grey-cushioned Grimmia (Grimmia pulvinata) transformed by mizzling rain.

Here with Dilated Scalewort, Frullania dilatata. Probably the most common Essex leafy liverwort, alongside Metzgeria furcata (the Forked Veilwort, pictured alongside from a different location).

Watching moss rehydrate under the microscope is magical! Here are 4 photos of Bartramiopsis lescurri (false apple moss) taken over 10 minutes. Upper left is just before adding water. Clockwise from there shows the hydration process.

Marchantia might seem an unlikely biotech crop, but it’s worth trying. In Aurore’s thesis, we pushed this concept by engineering the auronidins with MpMYB14 and using the pigments to dye cotton. It ended up giving a very unique and beautiful product.
