The common hairmoss is a species of moss that's primarily found in regions with high humidity and rainfall. For a moss, it is exceptionally tall. It can reach a height of 70 cm in some extreme cases, and it always exceeds 30 cm in height.

A very common moss, the swan's-neck thyme-moss forms dense, soft tufts there were once used traditionally as a stuffing for mattresses. It grows in wet habitats, with constantly open spores that absorb water. It provides a habitat for numerous insects, frogs, and fungi.

Twisted Moss, or Syntrichia ruralis, is a unique moss that grows on rocks and ledges. When dry, it appears reddish and shrunken. When twisted Moss gets wet, the leaves turn a lush green and begin to spread out.

Pogonatum inflexum is a medium-sized moss that ranges from yellowish to grayish green in color. It grows on rocks and soil in wet temperate to subtropical forests. It has shown promise as an indicator species, as it is sensitive to cadmium pollution in soil.

Broom forkmoss is a tough, coarse moss that is native to North America. It typically grows in clumps and leaves are approximately 2 to 8 cm high. Broom forkmoss can be found growing among other mosses in forested areas in dry to moist soil.

There are no underground stems, and the stems are almost upright on the roots and the ground. The root of the stem is slightly slanted and sprouts, so it becomes a stock. The stem also branches 2-3 degrees at the top. The height is 7 to 20 cm, sometimes around 30 cm. Stems and leaves are hard. The leaves are roughly thin and oval with a slight serration on the edge, but are often mutated and are characterized by distinguishing varieties. There is only one main vein, and it protrudes slightly behind. The leaves spiral around the stem, dark green to yellow-green, thin, hard and shiny. Although the spore comes to the upper side of the base of the spore leaf, it appears to stick to the stem as an impression. They usually arrive in the middle of the upper part of the stem, but apparently there is not much difference in the spore leaves, and it does not look like a spike. Leaves near the tip of the stem may be thick, where asexual buds form.

Juniper haircap is a perennial, evergreen moss. Juniper haircap has thin, stiff bristle-like leaves. The male plants have modified orange leaves that look like flowers. Hairs appear where spores form at the end of a long sheath, giving it its name.

Bank hair moss is a moss notable for its tall, upright growth, resembling miniature pine trees. Its dense, dark green mats feature rigid, lance-shaped leaves. Thriving in moist, shady environments, bank hair moss relies on humid conditions for reproductive spores to disperse. This moss subtly adapts to its surroundings, often indicating a healthy, undisturbed ecosystem.
