Natural Connections

Dec 2 2021 • 6 mins

Clubmoss, prince’s pine, and ground pine are just three of many names applied to little evergreen plants in the family Lycopodiaceae. Besides looking like adorable, doll-sized Christmas trees, these plants have explosive spores that were used in the first flash photography, magic tricks, and more. They also have a special relationship with mycorrhizal fungi and the wood wide web. Take a hike with Naturalist Emily Stone to learn more!
