Funaria hygrometrica
About
Funaria hygrometrica, the bonfire moss or common cord-moss, is a type of water moss which grows on shady, moist soil. It can also be found on moist walls and the crevices of rocks and places where recent fires have taken place. It has been reported to grow in Niagara Cave, an artificially illuminated cave devoid of natural light. Under such conditions, its growth form changes so that the internodes lengthen and the leaves become longer and narrower.

How to use it
Bonfire moss can be used in ecological restoration projects, particularly in areas affected by fire. Its ability to grow in moist, shady conditions makes it a valuable species for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion in such environments.
