Aquamarine Spiral Moss

Moss type: Moss

This aquamarine moss is commonly found blanketing tiny areas In moorlands.
It is large, growing up to 7 inches (18 cm) tall. It forms in thick clumps and they overwhelm an area rapidly, and is very flimsy; it takes a lot of damage when trodden on.
When mature, emerald spiral capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the mid-summer to release millions of spores; it does not cause any allergic reactions.

The sap is edible and extremely savoury.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
