    I’ve seen that at my school’s strawberry farm. Dunno what it is, but I hope you figure it out

    Liverworts, the most ancient group of land plants, form a range of intimate associations with fungi that may be analogous to the mycorrhizas of vascular plants. Most thalloid liverworts contain arbuscular mycorrhizal glomeromycete fungi similar to most vascular plants.

    Ooh what a beautiful liverwort! I’m so jealous, I love these. You can keep it the same way you would moss–cool, moist, shady.

    Be careful, it can spread and kill the plants in no time. I have a wet, shady corner in my patio and it took over like 3 full-size planters (2x5ft or 50x150cm). It has extremely dense, short roots so when you want to uproot it, you’ll probably take like 1inch of soil with it. AFAIK it cannot be chemically killed unless you want to kill the plant with it.

    That’s a *Trypophobia horribilis*. Burn it, now.

  9. wow it’s beautiful! I always wanted one of these. difficult to keep up. it’s a Marchantia polymorhpa. Also, your specimen is very trypophobobogenic 😬

    Liverwort.

    Those holes you see on top are called ‘splash cups’. They contain small genetically identical clones of the motherplant. When rain drops into the splash cups, these clones can be spread several metres.

    It can also reproduce sexually, though.

    Give us trypophobia a warning next time please!

    My skin is itching like crazy!!
