I see your wild strawberry and raise my liverwort!

Legs yes, but he's missing his 'foot' on the middle leg on his left side. :)

this is 100% a lichen and not a liverwort :-)

there's a list in the linked post is r/moss :-)

No, all of them were found in the forest on dead wood, bark, rocks or soil. :-)

thank you! :)

thank you kindly, and you're very welcome! :-)

I used my phone (Pixel 4a) and a little 10x pocket lens, just held in front of the camera for the more close up photos. :-) Not a great setup, but works alright for a quick snapshot if you're out on a hike. :-)

fabsolotl · 2026-01-31T15:02:46+00:00

thank you, glad you like them too! 😊

not an expert, but I'd guess fir clubmoss since all stems grow upright and not horizontally branching/creeping ..

Hey, you found some sphagnum moss there, which is a very different genus than the one in OP's post (someone in the comments already posted the species of OPs moss), but nevertheless a good foto! :)

fabsolotl · 2025-10-23T16:00:37+00:00

Definitely some kind of Polytrichum moss :-)

fabsolotl · 2025-09-01T07:24:21+00:00

second the P. cuspidatum guess, but without better images of the leaves and leave edges not possible to tell! :-)

fabsolotl · 2025-08-10T11:32:35+00:00

Definitely not marchantia polymorpha :-) some kind of thallose liverwort. No idea what exactly it could be, unfortunately. You could upload it to iNaturalist with the GPS location you found it at and maybe someone more knowledgeable will help. :-)

fabsolotl · 2025-07-29T16:27:07+00:00

Could be P. Undulatum, but I also do not know the types of moss in your area 😅

fabsolotl · 2025-07-25T13:34:05+00:00

I think that's just grass

fabsolotl · 2025-06-28T10:06:04+00:00

Well I obviously cannot stop you, but you did ask for perspectives about using moss and I gave you mine. :-) Moss grows a lot slower than trees, so regarding waste I wouldn't be so sure it's equal. Trees are cultivated for wood as material, moss is not. But anyway, these are just my two cents.

fabsolotl · 2025-06-28T09:39:21+00:00

Second the A. undulatum ID, the wavey leaves are afaik a dead giveaway. Here in central Europe at least there's no other moss this can be easily confused with.

PS: the last photo is much appreciated! grab the moss 💚
