I like it but is it moss or rather some type of fern?
It's indeed moss. I remember that these mushrooms were tiny ones, some few centimeters high and the ground was full of that fresh and soft moss.
Central Switzerland, where I took the photo, is known to be very wet and some sorts of moss can grow up to that size. But it can not be compared with the moss that I saw in the woods near Gustavus, Alaska in the early 90ies. By places it was at least 30 to 50 cm high. I didn't know that either before, but moss can grow quite high under favourable conditions.
Add to that the fact that I was lying on the ground for this photo. It was supposed to be a so-called "bugs eye" shot and I guess for the bug, whose view I try to imitate in these shots, this moss really looks like fern.
Have a great day, @kus-knee! :)
Thanks for the explanation. You're a real adventurer!
Beautiful green jungle of moss and mushrooms. Love how you've shown the forest in the distance as well Patrick. 🍀
Thank you so very much, Alison!
At TSU I had a channel called "Bugs eye photography" and I loved to post this kind op photos and some from an even lower angle. On these pics you could have an idea from the "jungle" this area must be for the Bug.
Pleasure Patrick. There's nothing like actually being/lying on the ground to take images of the beauty there, from the view of ground creatures. It can be 'challenging' to lie on the earth here now because of tics. But this area looks like it would be tic and any other 'harmful insect' free? 🦋
You're so right, Alison. The only thing you risk is to get dirt on your clothes. OK, you better be careful not to lie down in glass fragments or rusty metal left behind by unmindful contemporaries. But we do not have dangerous snakes and/or harmful insects. :)
I like this :-) I expect Chinese nones under the mushroom heads. Fairytale-like!
Thank you, Janine-Ariane! I like it to walk through these woods, because the atmosphere is indeed Fairytale-like there. ;)
