Scleropodium moss

Scleropodium moss is a resilient type of moss often found clinging to rocks and tree trunks in damp, shaded forests. This moss sports dense, green tufts with leaves that are typically broad and curved, resembling a tiny, lush carpet. Its ability to retain moisture and endure low light makes it a vital component in its ecosystem, supporting moisture balance and providing habitat.
