Ptychomnion

Ptychomnion is a genus of moss characterized by its lush, green mats and tiny, intricate leaves which often display a slightly curled or crinkled appearance as they dry. Thriving predominantly in shaded, humid environments, ptychomnion adapts well to rocky substrates and tree bark, utilizing these surfaces to anchor its delicate structure. Its presence often indicates a stable, moist ecological niche supportive of diverse moss species.
