Crimson Moss

This pink-red moss is commonly found blanketing small areas In damp forests, and In bogs.
It is enormous, growing up to 11 inches (28 cm) tall. It forms in sparse patches, and is slightly delicate; it struggles more than most during dry spells.
When mature, emerald spiral capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the mid-summer to release thousands of spores.
