Do you know what looks like an afro?

I went for a walk in my familiar woods this afternoon as usual. Today's my new finding is what looks like an afro-hair attached to the tip of a slender colourless stalk, which grows thickly in a damp slope.

Before that, I uploaded a short video on Youtube to feel the ambience of the forest. The murmuring of a mountain stream taken at the stream just below the forest road.

Let’s get back on track. I found strange "plants" that looked like bean sprouts growing thickly on the humid, shady northern slope of the forest road. I couldn’t understand what it was. After coming back home I examined it and realized that it was the capsule stalk of a kind of liverwort. Its science name is Pellia endiviifolia, also known as Apopellia endiviifolia. The capsule stalk is slender and tall, measuring 3 to 6 cm. 

In fact, something like an afro-hair is the debris remained after a spore capsule finished its part. Before crumbled, the spore capsule looks like a small black ball seen in the below photo.  Even though things may appear this way, but it's actually a "moss" in a broad sense.  I’m afraid I didn't know such a thing.

By the way, following photos are wildflowers that I often noticed on the forest road today. 

Creeping Oxalis or Creeping Woodsorrel  (Oxalis corniculata)

Chickweed (Stellaria media)

Omphalodes japonica, a species endemic to Japan

Heloniopsis orientalis, may not be seen outside of Asia

This is a bonus ”wildflower”. The sprout of a fern, perhaps Fiddlehead ferns？
