Fire moss will colonize burned areas through lightweight, off-site, wind-dispersed spores. [13][21] High-severity fire, which exposes mineral soil, provides ideal conditions for the germination of fire moss spores.
Lycopodium powder is a yellow-tan dust-like powder, consisting of the dry spores of clubmoss plants, or various fern relatives. When it is mixed with air, the spores are highly flammable and are used to create dust explosions as theatrical special effects. The powder was traditionally used in physics experiments to demonstrate phenomena such as ...
Foxfire, also called fairy fire and chimpanzee fire, [1] is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to a luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with a luciferin.
Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopods or lycophytes. Members of the class are also called clubmosses, firmosses, spikemosses and quillworts. They have dichotomously branching stems bearing simple leaves called microphylls and reproduce by means of spores borne in sporangia on the sides of the stems at the bases of ...
Diphasiastrum digitatum is known as groundcedar, running cedar or crowsfoot, along with other members of its genus, but the common name fan clubmoss can be used to refer to it specifically. It is the most common species of Diphasiastrum in North America. It is a type of plant known as a clubmoss, which is within one of the three main divisions ...
The moss gametophyte has photosynthetic leaves, a stem, and root-like rhizoids that anchor them to the substrate. [ 9 ] Polytrichastrum formosum is a medium to large robust acrocarpous moss, growing in uncrowded, unbranching tufts. [ 2 ][ 3 ] Its colour ranges from green to dark olive green to greenish black.
The moss is dioecious and bears fruit fairly often, with spores maturing in summer. Spores are 14 to 20 μm in size and have fine hairs. The spore capsule is up to 5 centimetres (2 in) long, red below and yellowish above. The olive-brown to black seta (stalk) is slightly curved and tilted and has an elliptical-cylindrical shape. It has a contrasting neck with numerous large, single-celled ...
Antitrichia curtipendula is a small flowerless and seedless plant that reproduces by spores. After germination and when first developing, moss will develop a thin, felt like structure on damp soil, rocks, tree bark, or rocks. This transitional stage in the life cycle of moss leads to the growth of gametophore which then develops into stems and ...
