Shingle moss

Shingle moss is a graceful moss with feather-like fronds that favor the moist, shady environments of woodland habitats. Its delicate, green fronds are densely arranged, often forming lush mats on tree trunks or rocks. The plant thrives in humidity, its sprawling nature allowing for efficient clonal reproduction, ensuring its persistence in the damp microcosms it occupies.
