Discovering cryptogams

Our judging panel found it very difficult to pick a winner for the Week 1 challenge. Take a look at a couple of the entries on our website and you'll understand why - you'll also get some great advice on how to take better photos of invertebrates and fungi. Congratulations to @felix75 who will soon be receiving a $30 voucher to Snowgum Travel and Adventurewear and a Bush Blitz cap!

For Week 2, we're encouraging people to discover cryptogams. For those not familiar with cryptogams, they are plants and plant-like organisms that don't produce flowers or seed and instead reproduce by spores. The group includes some familiar organisms, like ferns, mosses and fungi, as well as less familiar ones like liverworts, lichens and algae.

If you'd like to take part in this week's challenge, you'll find all the details on the Bush Blitz website but be quick as the Week 2 challenge closes at midnight on Wednesday 24 June.

We are expecting to see many cryptogams added to our project over the next few days. Luckily we have expert curators on our project like @cgueidan and @ccargill to help with identification. @ccargill researches the taxonomy and systematics of Australian hornworts and liverworts and is a curator at the Cryptogam Collection at the Australian National Herbarium.
