[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Mosses are found chiefly in areas of dampness and low light. Mosses are common in wooded areas and at the edges of streams. Mosses are also found in cracks between paving stones in damp city streets. Some types have adapted to urban conditions and are found only in cities. A few species are wholly aquatic, such as Fontinalis antipyretica, and others such as Sphagnum inhabit bogs, marshes and very slow-moving waterways. Such aquatic or semi-aquatic mosses can greatly exceed the normal range of lengths seen in terrestrial mosses. [wikipedia]

Hello Michael,
You post an interesting photo of this particular type of moss. I love seeing the many different types of mosses growing in the woods. The one type that really amazes me grows on decaying logs and can easily be stripped off, dried and sold. It is used to put around potted plants that are sold in green houses and garden centers. There is actually a fairly good market for it if you want to take the time to collect it and dry it before shipping it to a buyer.
