Neckera pennata
Shingle moss is a soft, green plant that grows on rocks and trees. It looks like tiny green shingles and helps keep the environment healthy by holding water and providing homes for tiny creatures.
生息地: Forests
The shingle moss has flattened, overlapping leaves that create a smooth, tile-like mat. It typically appears a glossy, bright green when wet, dulling to an olive or brownish-green when dry, often found clinging to tree bark.
