    hi bro, the pic you dont isnt the moss hyophila involutal, you got to magnify it under a microscope to see the real structure.

    The picture of the moss you posted doesnt seem to form a rosette, so definitely not the one..

    cheers

    yeah will look the same from the naked eye, especially if same genus.

    but to differentiate the sp you will need magnification

    Hi bro, i do know taiwan has another sp of it. Its faster growing as compared to Hyophila Involutal. However the shape is slightly different, the jade or pearl moss is more rosy in a way.

    But its still a very nice moss! thanks for the pictures bro

    Yes I do and I am going insane with the frustration of seeing these pictures and knowing I'll never be able to get some samples because I'm so far away. I'll post some pictures of our Scottish mosses one day soon.
    Here is a quote from the forestry commision guidelines for collecting moss in Scotland

    "Scotland is a biodiversity hotspot for mosses, with 87% of the UK's moss species and 60% of Europe's moss species, and as much as 5% of the world's mosses. Scotland is particularly important for peat bogs, or mires"

    I have high hopes that I might be able to find some new species for the Hobby. I already have one Scottish moss growing well in my aquarium.

    Hi bro ive been to scotland and gotten a few mosses from there, seems like the ones ive gotten are terrestrial ones. But i do believe that are true aquatic mosses that can be found in scotland.
    Two of the mosses ive found are Trichostomum brachydontium from scotland, edinburgh andBryum caespitosum.


    If you want some hyophila Involutal, i dont mind sending some over to you.

    If you ever find yourself visiting Edinburgh again you can find Fontinalis antypretica in the Water of Leith as well as one or two other aquatic mosses and liverworts I have not identified yet.
    It seems that most of our truly aquatic mosses and liverworts grow in very cold highland lochs but I remain optimistic that some at least will grow in warmer water, I intend to seek help from the Royal botanical gardens as i have some friends there.
    I would love some Hyophila Involuta, I have some excellent vivarium mosses I have been cultivating that i could send you in return or if you would prefer cash that works too.
