Trichophyllum Tuberculosum
Cushion moss, scientifically known as Trichophyllum tuberculosum, is a low-growing, mat-forming species that thrives in moist, shaded environments. This unique moss is characterized by its dense, compact growth pattern, which helps it retain moisture and resist wind erosion. Found primarily in temperate regions, it often carpets rocky outcrops and forest floors, creating a lush, green carpet. Despite its small size, Cushion moss plays a vital role in soil stabilization and nutrient cycling within its ecosystem. Its resilience and adaptability make it an important indicator of environmental health and biodiversity.
