Crimson Shield Moss

This pink-red moss is commonly found growing in giant clumps In moorlands, and In rainforests.
It is short, growing up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. It forms in sparse patches, and is overwhelmingly robust; it is very difficult to kill.
When mature, emerald shield-shaped capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the early autumn to release hundred of spores.
