Moss forest - Polytrichum formosum, Plagiochila asplenioides, (Picea abies, Hylocomium splendens, [Sphagnum]) (48°33' N 13°48' E)
2011-09-17 Upper Austria, district Rohrbach/OÖ - Zimmermoos (720 msm Quadrant 7448/2).
The uprooted tree as well as most trees in the background is Picea abies (in a habitat where, naturally, a mixed forest of spruce, fir and beech should dominate, so not quite as natural a habitat as it looks).
The moss species present here however are both typical and native for this habitat. Most prominent one here is Polytrichum formosum as well as some other (unidentified) Polytrichum species, then one Plagiochila asplenioides (?!), a few Hylocomium splendens mixed in (none prominent in the foreground), and in the background (in bokeh) there's also some Sphagnum species present.
