Narrative

True Mosses (Bryopsida = Musci) are generally a branched network of green thread-like structures laying close to the earth with a root-like rhizoid that penetrates into the ground. Upright green shoots involved in the reproductive process are occasionally present. They are typically divided into three different groups as follows: The Sphagnum Mosses (Sphagnales), the Andreaeidae, and the Typical Mosses (Bryidae).
