Neckera

Neckera is a type of moss often found gracing the surfaces of wet, shady rocks and tree trunks. This moss forms lush, green mats, characterized by its finely divided, feathery leaves and a creeping growth habit. The delicate structure of neckera not only flourishes in moisture-rich habitats but also aids in the stabilization of its substrate, preventing soil erosion.
