Badge Moss, Plagiomnium Insigne

Day 108: Badge Moss (Plagiomnium insigne), also known as Leafy Moss, is at its best during the cool months of winter and early spring. It is quick to dry out in warmer temperatures, forming brown and unattractive mats atop rotting wood. It is a common sight in mixed forests, frequently growing in patches among sword ferns. Individual leaflets are approximately 1/4 inch in length, stems trailing two to three inches.
