User's notes

My best guesstimate is some king of running fern(?) on the shade cloth that so many other ferns, mosses 7 lichens have colonized. But then maybe it is not a fern at all ?!?!? (Ta shade cloth canopy collapsed a few years ago and a substantial amount of leaf litter has accumulated in the depression formed in the top, with several ferns & other plants colonizing the underside).
