Archidium is a genus of mosses; it is the only [3] genus in the family Archidiaceae and order Archidiales. [2] Historically, they were considered the only genus in the subclass Archidiidae Engl. [4] [5]
The following 35 species are recognised in the genus Archidium: [6]
Funaria is a genus of approximately 210 species of moss. Funaria hygrometrica is the most common species. Funaria hygrometrica is called “cord moss” because of the twisted seta which is very hygroscopic and untwists when moist. The name is derived from the Latin word “funis”, meaning "a rope". In funaria root like structures called rhizoids are present.
Dicranum is a genus of mosses, also called wind-blown mosses or fork mosses. These mosses form in densely packed clumps. Stems may fork, but do not branch. In general, upright stems will be single but packed together. Dicranum is distributed globally. In North America these are commonly found in Jack pine or Red pine stands.
