When I posted on 4th December I couldn't find a photo to illustrate Campylopus introflexus growing on tiled roof tops, but yesterday whilst visiting the museum at St. Fagans I noticed that C. introflexus has started to colonise the roof of the woollen mill. Although most tufts are still quite rounded, a few are big enough to start showing that distinctive tall straight growth-form.
Nearby I also noticed a bunch of sausages starting to grow on a tree near the lakes.
My in-laws' roof in Cornwall has many of these odd-looking tufts of introflexus. Such a versatile moss.
