Life cycle of a typical moss (Polytrichum commune) The moss life-cycle starts with a haploid spore that germinates to produce a protonema (pl. protonemata), which is either a mass of thread-like filaments or thalloid (flat and thallus-like). Massed moss protonemata typically look like a thin green felt, and may grow on damp soil, tree bark ...
Cyathophorum bulbosum is dioicous, meaning that male and females are separate ‘plants’.The life cycle is dominated by the gametophyte stage. There are no other moss species within Australia that look similar. Though it may be confused with Schistochila lehmanniana.
Hylocomium splendens, commonly known as glittering woodmoss, [2] splendid feather moss, [3] stairstep moss, and mountain fern moss, is a perennial clonal moss [4] with a widespread distribution in Northern Hemisphere boreal forests. It is commonly found in Europe, Russia, Alaska and Canada, where it is often the
A protonema (plural: protonemata) is a thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage of development of the gametophyte (the haploid phase) in the life cycle of mosses. When a moss first grows from a spore, it starts as a germ tube, which lengthens and branches into a filamentous complex known as a protonema, from which a leafy ...
Pohádky z mechu a kapradí (English: The Tales of Moss and Fern) is a Czechoslovakian animated children's television series produced from 1968 to 1979. The series focuses on the adventures of two forest gnomes named Křemílek and Vochomůrka, who often dealing with certain problems.
Prothallus of the tree fern Dicksonia antarctica (note new moss plants for scale) Spore-bearing plants, like all plants, go through a life-cycle of alternation of generations. The fully grown sporophyte, what is commonly referred to as the fern, produces genetically unique spores in the sori by meiosis.
The 'alternation of generations' in the life cycle is thus between a diploid (2n) generation of multicellular sporophytes and a haploid (n) generation of multicellular gametophytes.

Fern moss may refer to several varieties of moss that produce feathery fronds and can form a moss carpet across grass or bare patches of ground: Hylocomium splendens. Fissidens bryoides [commons; species; ceb; is; nl; pl; sv; uk; vi; zh; wikidata] – lesser fern moss; Hylocomium splendens or Hylocomium proliferum – mountain fern moss
