Emerald Crest Moss

This emerald moss is commonly found growing in giant clumps In rainy mountain ranges, and On trees.
It is small, growing up to 1 inch (3 cm) tall. It forms in sparse patches, and is extremely resistant.
When mature, emerald crescent-shaped capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the mid-summer to release thousands of spores.
