Polytrichum commune
Haircap moss is a soft, green plant that grows in damp places like forests and wetlands. It looks like a tiny forest on the ground, providing homes for small insects and creatures.
生息地: Forests, Wetlands
The Haircap Moss has stiff, upright stems covered in tiny, needle-like deep green leaves. It often forms dense, carpet-like mats from which reddish-brown, boxy spore capsules rise on thin stalks, making it stand taller than many other mosses.
