yes, actually, I read an article about wild saccharomyces being prevalent in leaf litter. And I had wanted to do a yeast capture in the forest nearby where there used to be a brewery in the 1880s. So I collected leaf litter from where I think the brewery might have been based on old maps and intuition.
You can read about it here: https://mutedog.beer/capturing-wild-yeast-from-leaf-litter/
Whether the yeast I got has any real relationship to that old brewery I kinda doubt it but it did make some decent beer.
