Mountain Emerald Moss

This brown moss is commonly found blanketing large areas In rainy mountain ranges.
It is average-sized, growing up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. It forms in small clumps, and is very resilient; it can easily endure flooding and draughts.
When mature, emerald teardrop-shaped capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the late autumn to release thousands of spores.
