Drepanocladus moss is a genus of moss distinguished by its curved, sickle-shaped leaves and dense, plush mats that typically colonize damp or submerged habitats. These moisture-loving mosses thrive best in environments that remain consistently wet, which aids in their resilience and ability to spread across a wide area, adapting well both in shaded forests and marshy lands.
