It's that time of the year for mosses! The eggs have been fertilized quickly producing spore filled capsules on stalks (Sporophytes). The spores are released when the cap dries out and falls off the capsule. Mosses love shady moist environments, like the north sides of dead trees and logs. Mosses are like sponges, and can soak up to twice their weight in water.
