Brachythecium moss

Brachythecium moss is a family of mosses featuring a plush, green carpet-like appearance, commonly flourishing in shady, moist forest environments. These mosses exhibit finely divided, feather-like leaves, which help them retain moisture and thrive in their humid habitats. Their preference for shadowy undergrowth allows them to avoid direct sunlight, adapting well to the lower layers of forest ecosystems.
