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!!!
