Excuse my awful title.
So 2-3 weeks ago I decided be a total idiot and order some moss spores off the internet instead of choosing one of the other propagation methods that are 50x easier. They came in about a week ago, and I made up some little vessels with peat moss and the last bit of woodchips I had from a bag of Orchid growing medium. I thoroughly saturated it, made sure it had a humidity tray, and "sowed" the spores. A week later not a god damned thing has happened in either of those containers.
BUT, a container I had housing several carnivorous plants, in a medium of perlite and peat moss, has had the most interesting thing happen. There's little slimy green covering beginning to form on some of the growing medium, particularly on the perlite. It looks an awful lot like the protonema I've heard about (but seriously struggle to find find decent photos documenting examples of), at least the way I interpreted how it was described to me.
Any chance there's a bryophyte bro on here that could identify exactly what's going on? If it is moss, the kind I got grows in a bog, just like the carnivorous plants, so I could keep em together and have a beautiful little mini bog biome, right? On the other hand, if its algae or cyanobacteria or something, is there any way to kill it before it kills my lil bug munching buddies?
Thanks in advance 1000x, below is a link to an album that has a couple more pics from various zoom levels so you can get a context for the super macro closeups.
