Sporangium, Gametophyte


Back in the valley again today, and I got a really neat shot of a bit of moss out in the garden. The bottom leafy look structure is the gametophyte. It produces gametes. They fertilize eachother by the flow of water downwards. The little stalk with the flowery looking thing is referred to as the sporangium. It produces the spores. Back in the valley, and boy oh boy is it nice.
