Much better now.
Close to Campylopus sp., now I can focus on variants, textures and spore 
fronds for it.

Looks more like Polytrichum spp. to me. Might also pass for Huperzia 
lucidula. It will really be the sporophytes that distinguish it.

Hmm....so then perhaps it will be very easy to make the initial three 
variants. Just change leaf shape/texture and scale.
Sweet! :-D

I've looked at other more complicated mosses/liverworts, but I'm not sure 
trying to make them would really be worth it until I learn how to make 
meshes(damned triangles), as I think they might render slowly unless meshes 
are used. Right now this renders relatively quickly, even with the leaves 
being differenced cones (I was surprised).

I guess I'll need to study various IFS and perhaps the trace vine macro that 
comes with povray, nomatter the method I choose to use for future moss 
construction.

Perhaps I'll have a decently useful macro suite to contribute soon-ish. 
(clouds, moss, corrosion, snow/icicles and various utility macros)
I'd definitely like to give something back to the community.
