Racomitrium moss

Racomitrium moss is a resilient moss typically found clinging to rocky surfaces in cooler climates. Its distinctive, wiry shoots often appear hoary due to a dense covering of papillae, giving the plants a silvery sheen. These adaptations not only enhance its tolerance to harsh, sunlit environments but also help racomitrium moss trap moisture efficiently, vital for survival in its typically arid habitats.
