Some rough goose neck moss (𝘏𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴 or 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴), from the Wiley Trails:

If you pass a patch of moss with a reddish tinge, do yourself a favor and get down low (or if you have bad knees like me, put your phone camera down low, upside down), to check out those gorgeous sporophytes.

Off to find some tea to warm up. Hiked to a small waterfall in the rain. You don’t really appreciate how depauperate the north is until you walk through a cloud forest and are astonished by new things with each step.

Gyromitra esculenta.
A common fungus on southern Vancouver Island in early spring. Guidebooks list it as "toxic" and there have been fatalities recorded from consumption. The primary toxin, gyromitrin, is water soluble so boiling the mushrooms and discarding the water removes most of the toxin. But, gyromtrin hydrolyzes to monomethylhydrazine (aka rocket fuel) that is toxic when inhaled. So prepare them outside or in a room with good ventilation.
