Sphagnaceae

Sphagnaceae is a family of mosses known for their large, spongy structures that can absorb significant amounts of water, vital for their survival in boggy, acidic environments. These mosses exhibit a light green to yellowish color with dense, branching clusters. They play a critical role in creating peat bogs by accumulating partially decayed organic material.
