Embrace the Versatility of White-Toothed Bristle Moss

White-toothed bristle moss, or Orthotrichum diaphanum, is an excellent choice for beginner bryologists due to its widespread presence across Britain and Ireland, thriving even in polluted urban environments. Its distinctive white tip on the leaves sets it apart from other British mosses, while the fringed capsules give it a unique, predatory appearance. This adaptable moss favors nutrient-rich habitats, often found on older trees and concrete structures, particularly where birds contribute nutrients. Its resilience in challenging settings emphasizes its value for those exploring the world of bryology.
