Question
Greetings, I came across these in the forest earlier in April. I am a complete novice at identifying wildlife; so, I figured I'd ask. Any help would be great. Thanks, Perceptive Plants
Answer
Perceptive Plants, you've photographed a species of Polytrichum (hair-cap moss), a group of vascular (but non-tracheophyte) plants that are not covered on the Go Botany website. Go Botany is dedicated to wild tracheophytes of New England, which includes ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants. Best wishes.
