Broom Forkmoss
Broom forkmoss forms dense, soft, carpet-like mats in forests, on soil, rotting logs, and sometimes on rocks. The shoots are usually 4–10 cm tall, upright, and slightly curved, giving the clumps a neat, broom-like look—hence the name. Its leaves are lance-shaped, 3–9 mm long, and tend to curve to one side, creating a tousled texture.
