That's an unusual looking plant. Interesting. You always find the best stuff.
Isn't that horsetail? Neat photo.
It was so cool & caught my eye! Sure looks like horsetail, but it’s not. Hopefully Val will chime in. I don’t recall what she called it. Wish I had taken a photo of what these end up looking like. I couldn’t believe it, until she showed me the brackets underneath the greenery.
It is actually a type of fern. However I think I may have referred to it as snake grass... which is a common name. Aka: puzzlegrass, snake grass, mare's tail, scouring rush, and horsetail.
It reproduces with spores from the tip. That funky cone top!
There are more than one version of these and they are considered something like a living fossil.
There are subtle differences in Mare's tail and this plant.
Right above these plants were more plants slightly different. They were Club Moss! With both plants fully mature they look almost exactly the same.
Club Moss here:

I recall taking a shot with my phone and using Google lens to ID the moss.
If you put them side by side which nearly were, it is hard to tell the difference!
Good one Aurora! I had to go back and do some research!
Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge Val!! Shirley, you were right - my photo is a horsetail. Hmmm, maybe I will draw them in my journal. There are so many cool things to discover and learn about in nature! I've got a related post brewing.
It’s so beautiful. Good find and great photo. I should start journaling back up, too. My daughter in law got me onto watercolor pencils when we visited last week.
Awesome and unusual shot. I like it!
That's a cool shot! I don't think I've seen that plant before, at least not in that stage.
