Juniper Haircap Moss - Polytrichastrum juniperinum

The trunks rose straight and tall. Flat side branches came off in alternate form, wrapping around the trunk. The grove looked thick and impressive, like a jungle. It’s probably old growth, too. But the entire grove covered only a few square inches; it was Juniper Haircap Moss, and I knelt looking right into the forest.
