Fungus
If you haven't got the picture yet, I again say the forest above Port Moody is wet. Besides the mosses and lichens, there's fungus feeding off all of the rotting material everywhere. For example, these odd looking outgrowths on the trunk of deceased tree. In this fungal colony, individual growths varied from smaller than an inch to over a foot in diameter (not pictured). Maybe due lack of sunlight, however, I didn't see many toadstools or mushrooms.
