What does anyone make of these? I have them in my collection box should I need to put them under the microscope.
I'm trying to work out if they are fungal or part of the moss. Some sort of reproductive body for the moss or a result of a successful bout of reproduction? They're interesting whatever they are!
Size 4mm maximum. The moss patch was in a
Pinus plantation. A pointer towards what they are would be excellent.
All help, comments and suggestions much appreciated,
Nick
EDIT; Just to add, I was in a massive patch of moss for the whole day and I found just two or three pieces of moss with this on, though those were all in the same place so it probably turns out that it was all from the same piece of moss. I didn't see any other small orange bodies in moss for the rest of the day, and trust me, I was looking.
