10. Ferns & moss

The Fern

A fern has roots, stems, leaves and spores.

We all know the fern in a little pretty pot of the grandmother. But there are ferns also in the garden and especially in the forest. There are various sorts of ferns and those can be small as well as big. As for the foam, ferns like humidity and shade. In the winter, they frequently disappear totally, lying below the ground. In the spring, the leaves slowly elapses to give the shape of a leaf that we all know. Spores are located underneath the leaves and are forming lines of dark spots. If you are shaking the plant, you can see a sort of powder leaking out from the spores.

  • Ferns are toxic.

  • diseases of the brunchial tubes.

  • Increasing of the urine production.

 

The Foam

We all have probably once seen a foam … in the garden or in the forest… In the woods, the foam look like a colored and soft carpet.  A foam has roots, stems, leaves and spores and it likes humidity. Therefore, she is developping herself into the forest. You will never find foams in a desert! If the foam doesn't get enough water, it becomes dry but does not die. At the next rain, the foam will become green and humid again. The foam also has spores located inside 'pods" that are on the top of the stems. Those pods also have the main role in the reproduction of the foam.
