Pocket moss

Pocket moss is a genus of moss recognized for its small, dense, green tufts, often resembling miniature velvet carpets. The leaves are typically arranged in two distinct rows, creating a unique flat appearance. Thriving in moist, shady environments, pocket moss utilizes these conditions to anchor onto soil, rocks, or tree bark, which contributes to its lush, verdant growth.
