Rhynchostegium

Rhynchostegium is a genus of moss found in moist, shady habitats. Characterized by its delicate, feathery appearance, rhynchostegium thrives on the decaying wood and soil, often forming lush, green mats. Its leaves are small and somewhat lance-shaped, and the stems typically display a creeping growth pattern, helping it clasp onto surfaces in its damp environments.
