Xmas moss is a good choice for the background. Should be able to find the material from NA, C328 or Petmart.

i'm ADDicted to this wonderful hobby
ohx... thanks.. so far what kind of moss looks best on the backdrop?
I prefer taiwan moss. Saw NA selling tree bark for background. You can wind the moss up with cotton thread or thin fishing line, it will look great too. But, when the moss grow too think, it will block the tree bark effect. So, you can choose between plastic mesh or tree bark.
taiwan moss easier as it sticks to material like stone, wood[plastic maybe?]
my weeping moss no glue... lots of bits and pieces here and there. sickening...

personally i wud prefer xmas moss at the background
Both Taiwan and Christmas are good for background.
Weeping moss is more difficult to grow, unless you have a chiller and low bio-load and weeping moss looks better on driftwood.
Weeping is more neat for moss wall...
Black plastic mesh can get from IMM level 3 Daiso ($2 / pkt = 6 pcs) 6" x 6"

Yes, Christmas moss is very dark green in colour... I have 2 logs of that and initially I tot my 'Taiwan' moss is dying... Then I remembered I bought them as Christmas moss from Gen-X (defunct) and they are still living...
