Purple Bog Moss

This dark purple moss is commonly found growing in small clumps In bogs, and In marshes.
It is big, growing up to 9 inches (23 cm) tall. It forms in small clumps and they overwhelm an area rapidly, and is slightly frail; it burns easily in strong sunlight.
When mature, emerald oval-shaped capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the early autumn to release hundred of spores; it can cause severe allergic reactions.
