The Weirdest Fern in Northern California 

On a landscape of young volcanic rocks, we meet a plant that "eats" #mycorrhizal fungi and a rare and tiny fern that can be found in isolated populations in mountains as far away as Iran, #Asplenium septentrionale.
We get a crash course primer on volcanic rock types as well as a quick intro to the "poricidal anthers" of the blueberry family, Ericaceae.
Species featured in this video :
Eriodictyon lobbii
Iliamna bakeri
Heterotheca sessiliflora
#Asplenium septentrionale
#Sarcodes sanguinea
#Chimaphila umbellata
