| Can anyone identify this moss? I have a lot of it on my property (South Carolina) and was wondering if it would do OK in a closed terrarium....

| While there is moss in that image, the thing in the middle looks like a fruticose lichen, possibly a Cladonia sp. Don't know how it would do in a terrarium. The members of this genus that grow around here tend to like lots of light and many prefer rather dry conditions. |

| The moss looks like Leucobryon See this link for image Click here It should do well in a closed container if it is kept cool. I am growing a plant of it in one of those supermarket cake/pie containers that has a plastic base with a plastic dome top. It is outside in mostly a shaded spot with only less than an half hour of sunlight. |
