Pyrrhobryum moss

Pyrrhobryum moss is a type of moss commonly found in tropical to subtropical regions, flourishing both on rocks and trees. It is characterized by its vibrant red stems, which contrast strikingly with the green to golden-green, densely packed leaves. The leaves are small and often curled when dry, expanding when moist. This moisture responsiveness enables pyrrhobryum moss to thrive in varying humidity levels, adapting effectively to its surrounding environment.
