Star moss

Tortula ruralis

Habitat:

On the forest ground.

Notes:

One of my favorite mosses ^_^ I just love how rapidly it rehydrates. Really amazing transformation. So in the first photo you can see it after the rehydration, in the second before that (I took those photos today, but I have the moss since 2011, so it has been dehydrated more than 2 years!!!) And in the video you can see the process (it really is very rapid)! ^_^
