Its neat when you see these places or microclimatic areas, Florida is full of them. There is one area maybe half mile wide by maybe a mile long, could be slightly smaller, area out of Tampa Fl. between Thonotosassa and Temple Terrace that all the tree trunks and the ground is covered in green mosses. Some are long while others are short strand mosses with lichens in the mix as well as Fungi like mushrooms. They are beautiful areas that some describe as creepy. Its easy to look at them in your minds eye as an almost extraterrestrial encroachment overpowering the local environment. There are others that are covered in whats known asd Florida deer lichens and Florida Reindeer lichens. They look like coral from the sea, the deer lichens being a thinner structure while the Florida Reindeer lichens are thicker structures. They are hard and crunchy with multi branches or twig/spikes.
