Hypnaceae

Hypnaceae are small to medium-sized mosses, characterized by their soft, yellow-green color and feathery appearance. These mosses prefer moist, shady habitats, thriving best on forest floors, rocks, and logs where humidity is consistent. Their resilience in adapting to shady undergrowth and ability to retain moisture enable them to form dense, cushion-like colonies, pivotal for forest ecosystems.
