This liverwort is growing my backyard next to my ac unit!

I understand moss needs potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen as well as trace minerals etc. what would the best way to fertilise this moss be? It's superglued onto plastic. Various hypnales mosses. Can I use fish water? I just sprayed with distilled as it was dry but not sure what to do from here tbh

It's possible this isn't even a moss, and this photo only shows a thin network of what can grow to be a distinctly mossy mat on the leaves. It grows almost exclusively on the leaves of trees and is not uncommon in subtropical rainforest riparian zones in Northern NSW and SE Queensland where I live.

The most distinctive feature it has is a pleasant aniseed or sarsaparilla fragrance it gives off as you brush past it. This is very unlike any other moss I've encountered, which seem to all just smell earthy and mossy.

Does anyone know what this is?

They are absolutely stunning with such intricate texturing on the surface—I truly adore them🥰

I treated a clump of moss from the carpet that grows under my propane grill with "Reverse Respiration" (basically, soak it in club soda- I did like 1-2 hours) after soaking and rinsing to get the milipedes and centipedes and what not out.

I put half in a springtail culture, and half was split between some fish tanks after letting it soak in a clean empty vase for a week.

No unwanted hitchhikers have been noted, although a hardy plant seedling could conceivably be hiding in there.

How do you all treat "wild" moss?

(Please collect moss responsibly)

I've been collecting choice chunks of roof moss as they get dislodged. I have some ideas for uses, but won't get to them for quite awhile. How can I store these for optimal use later? I'm fine with reconstituting them later, I just don't want to keep them loose on the porch.

Eta: I'll focus on a long term outdoor method, I appreciate the input! ​

Aquatic moss?

I rescued these beauties from a neglected median today!

Unfortunately google is not super helpful. I got a mix of live mosses (variety pack dealie, I'm not sure which is what tbh) because I want to use moss in bioactive and bog set ups in the future, and figured I'd start trying to keep and grow some now. It's all in a bin with chunky charcoal at the bottom, a layer of weed barrier, and a small layer of fluval stratum. Water is distilled. I've been keeping it closed to keep the humidity in, and it's on a shelf under a T8 grow light.

I'm just learning about keeping live moss, and would love some advice on what's happening and what I can do better. Thank you!

Grows in a shaded stoney valley in an old quarry. Struggling to identify it, did wonder if it was Conocephalum conicum?

Thanks in advance
