The three locations where I had seen it prior to yesterday were where a stream ran through a gently sloping area of willows totally surrounded by tall Spruce. It's unlikely to be on the edge of a track, although I'd be glad to be proved wrong. In Ireland it is slightly less picky, and I've seen it on the edge of plantations and even on a roadside Sycamore (in the far west), see http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/bbs/activities/field%20bryology/FB100/FB100%20Bosanquet.pdf.

Lovely photo of those cute Daltonia capsules too. I've looked out for it on willows at the edges of Sitka plantations in NPT ever since you mentioned it to me a couple of years ago. It's out there somewhere!<br />Charles Hipkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830879011782542534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572836115424987671.post-15497420959914870532016-12-20T20:29:14.010+00:002016-12-20T20:29:14.010+00:00Fantastic find, you must have been beaming and not...Fantastic find, you must have been beaming and not a bit of tinsel in sight!
