Actually why didnโt you evolve the bladders when you were just getting adapted to water?

Because mosses are small enough to float naturally example is the Java moss, but now that theyโre larger and thicker they must have ways to remain buoyant

Will this be enough to keep em buoyant for the rest of the fg?

The aftershock of the methane burst is slowly dissipating, the biosphere is on some very weak legs and itโll take a good while for populations to recover.

Wouldnโt it be better for those to be physically extensions of the exoskeleton like what you see in a mantis?

Is it time for us change our species names?

I suppose it will happen soon since itโs supposed to occur around every 10 rounds iirc?

It looks like name changes occur every 7 rounds, from the previous times they have happened.

So it should occur real soon, probably next round then

Mutation uno: longer sphorophytes stalks on sphorophyte
Mutation dos: some โleavesโ becoming modified around the sphorophyte stalks like protopetals.

I am not sure there are any proto-pollinators around quite yet

I do not think anything that flies survived the Thalassopocalypse, and nothing has evolved flight since then.
From Wikipedia:
Springtails commonly consume fungal hyphae and spores, but also have been found to consume plant material and pollen, animal remains, colloidal materials, minerals and bacteria.[40]
Even though your species does not fly, it could consume doomlightningโs pollen.

I wonder if they will find an use in that regardโฆ

As of now those sphorophyte are not reliant on a pollinators just making them more attractive to get pollinators to touch the spores and carry them or get wind in a specific way to make spores fly away and not compete with the parent, which animal pollination was a co evolution between pollinators and the flowers not driven solely by the pollinators.
