On top of limestone rock in grassland with other bryophytes. Leaves up to 2.5mm long. Nerve excurrent.

Possibly. On oak. Could be a more widespread infection going on here that is killing the oak and the moss - see the blackening bark and observation http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/143658378 Took small piece of bark that crumbled off very easily - photo 6 and 7 I think these are embedded microplastics? Made separate observations for the hyphomycetes and the other lichen here: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146356152 Unfortunately the app still doesn't allow me to delete these photos now that I have made separate observations for each.
Guessing based on large cream-white, uniformly-thick obconical fruiting body on orthotrichaceae in winter. Also on Nephroma I think.
@georgeg I found some of the promising Frullania today and will give it a whirld tonight. On Physcocarpus capitatus in river slough area
Scattered strands among Sphagnum fallax in wettest part of boggy area. Leaves just over 1mm long with some rhizoids at back of leaf tips. Enlarged basal cells don't reach the nerve.
Pycnidia on Orthotrichum columbicum on physocarpus
On partially shaded stone wall. Whole patch has fertile shoots with antheridia.
On rocks of derelict building with Tortula subulata. Shoots are red with antheridia present and are 3mm tall. Leaves about 1mm long.
I've just added photos 1-6 of some green shoots, 5mm tall, leaves 2 mm long and one patch with capsules developing.
Carpeting gritstone rock in fast-flowing upland stream. Leaves are close together and laterally compressed in upper half of shoots. Leaves smell aromatic.
On thin soil over gritstone rock among bracken on upland moor. Shoots just over 1cm tall, leaves about 1.5mm long. These are the tallest plants of this species that I've seen so far.
Scattered patches on thin soil at the edge of gritstone rocks, and on peaty soil among bracken stems. One patch growing with Dicranum scoparium. The largest patch was at least 30cm x 40cm. Shoots about 5mm tall, leaves up to 1.5mm or so. I expect there would be more patches between the two areas I've found it in today.
On the side of limestone rock at the edge of the river with Brachythecium rivulare on the top.
Growing on Didymodon rigidulus det. @georgeg. Recorded in August 2022
What is this curious liverwort? It seems to have rhizomes with rhizoids… Haplomitria doesn’t have rhizoids… it also seems to have creeping axes… lovely disc shaped gemmae. Growing in what first appeared to be an algae mat… turns out to look more like it is soil held together with this plants rhizoids…
On bare soil in hollow in limestone grassland. Capsules have peristome teeth.
From sparsely vegetated muddy slopes of a fluctuating water body
Growing with Apopellia endiviifolia on damp soil on track in mixed ash woodland over limestone. Shoots 1cm tall, leaves 1.5mm long.
On limestone rock on steep slope in grassland. Shoots up to 4mm long, leaves about 1mm long.
On limestone rock in disused quarry. Leaves 3mm long.
'Hamburger' shape with pitted groove in centre. Growing in rocky area of grassland.
On limestone rock along track. Stems irregularly pinnate. Leaves 1.5mm long, stem leaves broader than branch leaves.
Very frequent along dried up stream bed in shaded limestone dale. Has toothed tube around female organ.
In dried-up stream in limestone dale. Shoots up to 1cm long, 2mm wide. No sign of perianths unfortunately.
A scarce UK species but recorded from this area before.
On wet gritstone rock face surrounded by slime. Water dripping down from above all the time. Shoots up to 4cm long. Leaves 3mm wide, 2mm long. Look heart-shaped.
Renosterveld flats, but not wet.
I think I'm losing the plot. It just looks exactly like this in the book but I know it's nowhere near here. Leaves 4mm long. Probably Campylopus introflexus!
An eye-catching patch of bright green moss on rock at the edge of upland stream. Leaves 3.5mm long.
On rotten log in mixed deciduous woodland with Calliergonella cuspidata.
In damp soil of very small, dried-up stream in pine plantation. Leaves up to 5mm long. Larger outer leaves have long, single teeth. Smaller leaves had a few double teeth near the tip and the teeth were all shorter. Growing with Dicranella heteromalla and Dicranella rufescens.
On bank of small upland stream with Pellia epiphylla. Has thickened leaf border and red-purple rhizoids.
On shaded stone wall above upland stream. Leaves 1mm long.
Quite probably some metal influence from the canal metalwork nearby. Leaves red based, bordered, costa excurrent, widest near/above middle. Bulbils, exillary gemmae and tubers all absent. Rhizoids reddish. Leaves rosulate, slightly twisted when dry. Margin recurved. Costa red near base. In P. pseudotriquetrum the leaves are widely spaced along a tall stem and widest below the middle.
On an old sycamore tree in the beer garden of the Feathered Nest Pub
Growing on gritstone rocks at side of small waterfall in upland stream. Stem leaves 1.5mm long, branch leaves up to 3mm long. Up to 6 long wispy branches in fascicles. Very small terminal bud.
Growing quite high up on rocks above the beach - not easy to get a clear photo unfortunately. Shoots about 1cm tall, leaves 2.5mm long.
On sandy soil under oak tree with Campylopus introflexus. Plants quite old and tatty. Leaves up to 2mm.
In loose patches on rocks in mixed woodland. Leaves up to 4mm long.
Growing on rocks sheltered by oak tree near the coast with liverwort species. Leaves about 5mm long. Leaf tip untoothed.
Growing on Dicranum scottianum (I think) on rocks sheltered by oak tree by the coast. Shoots very small, 2mm at the widest. I can't see any modified cells though.
