beastie Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Hi Any idea what has sprouted in my moss? The moss is sitting in a box that I have ready with a sort of filtration, and it looks like some sprouts are all over the moss and inside it too. I have never seen such sprouts Do you have any idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhizoids I believe. @beastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammaroon Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 They are sporophytes which release spores for reproduction. My Java moss does the same in my tank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woowala Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 if you've got any terrestrial mosses in your yard you can see this with them, depending on the time of year. it's got half (or double, I forget which) the number of chromosomes as the green stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternation_of_generations plants are absolutely bananas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
