Feather-stem Clubmoss

Common Names: Feather-stem clubmoss, harper's club-moss
Latin Names: Lycopodiella prostrata
Type: Herbaceous
Origin: Native
Edible: No

Other uses: The spores of lycopods are flammable and were used in fireworks and other flame-effects.

Note: In the wet field in back. Saw the plants after a week of major rain and the field was wet. The plants have disappeared within a few weeks as things dried out. I'm just seeing decomposed plants when the field is dry.

The genus of Lycopodiella is called bog mosses. Not sure if this is prostrata or possibly appressa. Need to watch over time.
