The other day I wanted some ramsons (wild garlic) to use with a fish dish I was planning to cook for dinner. Luckily our local forest has a secret (ahem...not very...) ramsons patch, so I went for a walk in the forest.
White Asphodel Asphodelus albus (Fr. Asphodèle blanc).
Ramsons Allium ursinum (Fr. Ail des ours).
These are the new young leaves of Lily of the Valley Convallaria majalis (Fr. Muguet). Don't mistake them for Ramsons, because they are toxic. These were growing right next to the Ramsons in the photo above.
A teensy weensy female dagger fly Empididae in a Wood Anemone.
Hornbeam and Sessile Oak forest.
Silky Wall Feather Moss Homalothecium sericeum (Fr. Homalothécie soyeuse). Maybe...
Bank Haircap Moss Polytrichastrum formosum (Fr. Polytricie élégante) and Rough Stalked Feather Moss Brachythecium rutabulum ... Maybe...
Polypore Lenzites sp.
Bank Haircap Moss.

I imagine that one sniff of the wild garlic leaves would tell whether they were the right thing or not.
