Just saw a weird moss thing at the state park

I was hiking in Silver Falls State Park yesterday and noticed this bright green moss growing on the north side of a big Douglas fir. It looked like a tiny forest all by itself, with little stalks that held up these tiny spore capsules. I got real close and saw they were only about 2 millimeters tall. It made me wonder how many other tiny plant worlds I walk right past. Has anyone else found cool moss or lichen spots on their hikes?

Wow, I feel the same way about missing those tiny hidden worlds.

But we're the ones who stopped looking for them, right?
