Obsidian Moss

Moss type: Moss

This black or peach moss is commonly found blanketing tiny areas In heathlands.
It is short, growing up to 1 inch (3 cm) tall. It forms in thin clumps and they are slow to spread and grow, and is slightly resilient; it is very difficult to kill.
When mature, emerald heart-shaped capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the mid-summer to release millions of spores.

All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
