Overall I enjoyed your collection! I think you need more detailed leaf images to really clarify your moss IDs in the last grouping (the first samples that you did were better). Nice job with the mushrooms, but again, a few magnified pictures would be helpful rather than just all handheld pics. Nicely done!
