Cream Shield Moss

This cream moss is commonly found growing in large clumps In moorlands, and In damp forests.
It is average-sized, growing up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. It forms in sparse patches, and is very flimsy.
When mature, emerald shield-shaped capsules grow at the end of long, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the mid-summer to release millions of spores; it does not cause many allergic reactions.
