The eternal struggle of the amateur botanist! While normal people walk past trees without a second glance, some of us can't help but screech to a halt every time we spot a fuzzy patch of bryophytes or crusty thallophytes. The taxonomic thrill of distinguishing between actual moss (which are bryophytes with tiny leaves) and lichens (which aren't even plants but symbiotic relationships between fungi and algae) is just too powerful to resist. That tree bark texture? *chef's kiss* Nature's perfect substrate for epiphytic organisms! The struggle is real when your friends just want to get coffee but you're busy photographing cryptogams with your phone camera at maximum zoom.
