I find it fascinating, but also a little unsettling, that I can moss leaves are one cell thick but I can still see them with the naked eye.

There's a whole world down there, that i never really thought about until a week ago.

i'm not a book person, but Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses is a really nice read!

I've never seen a moss like this, but apparently it's a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiomnium_affine

I thought one of the characteristic features of moss was that it didn't have vascular stems.
