4mm long. Found on cut flowers sold outdoors. Looks like local species I've seen before. Spotted by @mollyopsis
4 fertile fronds, longest 13 cm, on stone wall.
KOH test shows a yellow to brown coloration. See additional pictures.
On rusty iron. Spores look like boomerangs.

Flourescent yellow Lichen (Fungi), Pineridge Natural Area, Fort Collins, CO, July 2020
Impossible to represent the way this was glowing yellow, even in full sun.

Hairy False Goldenaster (Heterotheca villosa), Lory State Park, Larimer County, CO, July 2024
Geranium (Geranium), Lory State Park, Larimer County, CO, July 2024
Maybe viscossimum, Sticky Geranium?

Is this a variation on
Asteromyia carbonifera?
@mollyopsis spotted this one.
Exterior of window. 3mm long, not including snout.
Originally thought to be Dove's-foot Crane's-bill (Geranium molle), identification corrected (see below). Near Salt Marsh Nature Center, Marine Park, Brooklyn, NY.
Marine Park area, Brooklyn. Enclosed sidewalk space.
One of a dozen pairs seen.
Foraging individual on shore flew here several times. Once to chase a crow away. Another American Oystercatcher could be glimpsed here, so probably a nest.
substrate: the back of a wooden bench
tentative ID based on substrate, the yellow, areolate thallus that seems to be sorediate, with coarse grains forming the whole thallus
not sure if I'll be able to tell which Rorippa this is, seeing as the flowers are largely undeveloped. growing right at the shore of the artificial lake
Foraging at apple/Malus flowers.
Marine Park, Brooklyn.
Acting like a recent runaway; second time I've seen this one in area. Sitting in prime bird habitat, which is of course silent with this invasive predator here.
Lichen is probably wet. On: concrete bench support. Seems to be getting subsumed by other lichens.
Once considered a NYS rare species, now thought to be more weedy opportunist expanding its range. Possibly planted
Flowering yellow woodsorrel (Oxalis florida), Palmate-leaved woodsorrel (Oxalis), Ice Meadows, Hudson River Recreation Area, Warrensburg, NY, June 2023
On rock; underleaves two-lobed; ventral lobes plain, not inflated
Long Island City, Queens. Cobblestone Courtyard. Neglected flower bed & fissures between cement squares. Going with iN’s identification but not sure if correct.
Marine Park,Brooklyn. Grassy areas near Nature Center, especially under trees.
Wider overlapping lobes. Row of differentiated ocelli, “bucket” shaped lower leaves evident under scope. Growing on outcrop of Shawangunk conglomerate.
Green shade form on Quercus rubra with >250 annual rings.
We thought this huge polytrichum with 12mm long leaves and 10cm long stems might be P. commune but a cross section revealed no "C" shaped cells. Further investigation has pointed towards P. formosum. The lamellae are in about 30 rows and are 4-5 cells high. The cells of the margin (the teeth) extend 3 rows out from the lammelae. The cells in the teeth are about 8um wide.
This was growing in a very moist shady area. There were sporophytes present and I really wish I had collected one to see if it was sulcate.. but there were so few sporophytes that it did not feel right to collect them.
With an interesting fungus on the leaves

I have been hoping to see this for a while, but am still not sure if it actually is Isoetes. There are about ten.

Small specimen of a little known brachiopod found mainly in S. CA but also described as far north as Tomales Bay. It has turned up in a few recent surveys in Elkhorn Slough. ID and info from John Pearse and Mark Silberstein.
