Red Spiral Moss

This red moss is commonly found blanketing small areas On rotten logs, In damp forests, and In marshes.
It is modest-sized, growing up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. It forms in extensive patches and they spread and grow quickly, and is slightly rigid.
When mature, emerald spiral capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the mid-autumn to release thousands of spores; it does not cause any allergic reactions.
