Lycopodium clavatum moss


I had never seen this attractive moss before - trying to remember if this was the first time it had been seen/reported in Alberta. Doug, if you happen to read this, perhaps you could confirm or correct this. You can also see a small cluster of a Cladonia species in the centre (like tiny, green golf tees).
Added later - thanks, Doug, for the correct information: "It is found throughout the northern 2/3 of Alberta. This was found near its southern extent."
"Lycopodium clavatum (Stag's-horn Clubmoss or Ground Pine) is the most widespread species in the genus Lycopodium of the clubmoss family Lycopodiaceae.
It is a spore-bearing vascular plant, growing mainly prostrate along the ground with stems up to 1 m long; the stems are much branched, and densely clothed with small spirally-arranged leaves." From Wikipedia.
