intresting-but not the information I need!
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of information are you looking for? Maybe I can point you to another source.
ReplyDeleteBut it looks quite green to me! I'm seeking "hairy moss" that I could cultivate next to a partridgeberry plant for contrast in my yard. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Kudos for being passionate about plants!
ReplyDeleteThe "hair capped" mosses are in the genus Polytrichum, but I would not recommend those for transplanting. You might check out a couple of books on moss gardening. I would recommend moving the mosses around your yard that are already growing in a similar light and moisture location. That way you will be using local mosses that are already adapted to the location where you live.

I'm looking for Pin Cushion moss for a school project. That was good info but not what I needed.
ReplyDeleteThe typical habitat is Eastern Deciduous forests. It grows mostly in moist areas on soil. It is pretty common in forests of the east coast and midwest of North America. Depending on where you are located that may or may not help you out. Happy moss hunting!

DeleteI just brought a couple pieces home from Northern Wisconsin that got kicked loose by my grandson at my lake property. We have always called it "brain moss" and have seen that referance on the internet too.
ReplyDeleteBrain Moss is a very fun name for it. I had not heard of that one before. I will definitely add it to my list of common names for this moss. Thanks for the comment!
Deletewhat is the name of the sea moss that can be found along the pacific beaches? it is slippery and green in color
ReplyDeleteHi Rhea - There aren't any species of true mosses/bryophytes that live in salt water. Most likely those sea mosses are types of red or brown algae. Common names can be confusing like that. Spanish moss is another plant that is not actually a moss. It is a flowering plant that is a close relative of the pineapple.
