Follow up on fan clubmoss

See the little trees coming up from the fan clubmoss?  They are about 4 inches tall.  I think these are the fruiting bodies.  In fungi, they would be mushrooms;  not sure what they're called in mosses.  Guess I better get busy and do a little research.  I'll get back to you.  

OK, I learned that those "little trees" are the spore-bearing strobili.  Mosses don't have flowers or seeds, but reproduce by spores like ferns and mushrooms.  That's about all I know about it.  I just know that I love seeing this huge colony of clubmosses.  Thought you'd like to see it too.   
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
