Dale, the host of the Cosmic Photo Challenge, has challenged us to post a few images of Moss, Ferns, and Fungus for this week’s challenge. For this week’s challenge I needed to scour through my archives to see what I could find on this week’s theme.
Here is what I discovered …
Moss …

is growing on a tree branch
at Riverside Park and Greenway
in Cramerton, North Carolina.

that has grown on rocks
along the Nature Trail at
The Schiele Museum of Natural History
in Gastonia, North Carolina.
Fungi …

part of a vast network
of fungi that are essential
“recyclers” in nature.

Gastonia, North Carolina

They have a unique, crumbly texture
South Fork River Park

Ferns …

Aka the lady fern
or common lady-fern
Kings Mountain State Park
Blacksburg, North Carolina
Now to add a few non-typical Ferns …

a loop trail at
Anne Springs Close Greenway
Fort Mill, South Carolina

It is considered
an easy short trail
that connects to other trails.
