Bryales is an order of mosses.

Taxonomy

The order Bryales includes the following five families: [1] [2]

The order used to be defined broadly to include the Rhizogoniales, but is now used in a narrower sense. [3] A species of the Mniaceae genus Rhizomnium , Rhizomnium dentatum , was described from fossil gametophytes preserved in Baltic amber. [4]

The families Catoscopiaceae and Pseudoditrichaceae were previously placed in Bryales, but are now placed in Dicranidae as part of an early branching grade. [2] [5]

Andreaeaceae is a family of mosses which includes two genera, Andreaea, containing about 100 species, and the genus Acroschisma. The Andreaeaceae prefer rocky habitats ranging from tropical to arctic climates, on which they form tufted colonies, typically with reddish to blackish shoots. The capsules lack the peristome mechanism and dehisce longitudinally to release the spores, resulting in a paper-lantern appearance.
