Norway spruce
Here are some male cones on a typically pendulous branchlet of Norway spruce. Norway wood has been used for small and large projects, including for instruments by Stradivarius. The twigs have been used for a variety of medical needs. And Norway spruce is the primary ingredient in spruce beer.

I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)

Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
