Mosses are a common but largely unnoticed element of the natural world. There are roughly 1200 species in North America and over 400 species of moss in the eastern United States. Different species of moss have different requirements; some will even grow in full sun. Moss can make its home on rocks, logs, living trees and the ground. However, for the most part moss loves humid, shady areas with acidic soils that are compacted and slow to drain.
