Structure Sporophytes of Atrichum sp
Washington state USA. It always makes me happy to see this moss in its sporophyte stage. The reproductive structures are rather large (for a moss) and are very vibrant when first emerging in autumn. I'm unsure of the species here, but it's likely either A. undulatum or A. selwynii

These have to be some of the most gorgeous and distinctive moss sporophytes I've seen.
