About

Dicranum is a genus of mosses, also called wind-blown mosses or fork mosses.

These mosses form in densely packed clumps. Stems may fork, but do not branch. In general, upright stems will be single but packed together. Dicranum is distributed globally. In North America these are commonly found in Jack pine or Red pine stands.
