What type of terrestial moss is this?

[Sarpijk]

Hi guys, I have collected this interesting looking moss. It was growing in wet conditions on the banks of a local river.

I'm not very good at mosses, but I would guess some kind of Plagiomnium (maybe affine?). I have had similar species do well indoors with, reasonable humidity, and they can form a nice "lawn" in a flower pot that get watered frequently.

It does look like it! Thanks! I had no idea. The only thing that came to mind was Fontinalis Antipyretica but this is not terrestial.

I have collected it to be used in a paludarium.

Hi guys! Happy holidays!

The moss(?) after some initial melting has started growing looking a little different. I like the small leaves!
What do you think? Is it a Plagiomnium affine or sth else?

Very pretty, looks like it's doing well in there.

What do you think? Is it a Plagiomnium affine or sth else?

If I had found it around here I would say so, but depending on your local moss flora it might be something closely related like Plagiomnium cf. affine - in Vitro XL

Hi all,

What do you think? Is it a Plagiomnium affine

I think <"it probably is">.

Thanks! The difference between the one I collected and the way it currently looks is very interesting!
