Mnium

Mnium is a type of lush, green moss commonly found carpeting moist, shaded forest floors. It features large, bright green leaves that are soft to the touch, setting it apart from other mosses. These leaves often have a slightly rippled or toothed edge, aiding in water retention and survival in its humid environments. Mnium's robust appearance and habitat preference make it a distinctive member of forest undergrowth ecosystems, contributing to soil stability and moisture regulation.
