Sphagnum quinquefarium: The Five-Row Bog Moss

Sphagnum quinquefarium, commonly known as the five-row bog moss, is a botanical gem that stands out due to its unique arrangement of leaves in five rows and its three extended branches per fascicle. This moss is not only a visual spectacle but also plays a crucial role in the ecosystems of damp and shaded forests.

Rarity: Although extremely rare, Sphagnum quinquefarium is primarily found in regions of the Northern Hemisphere, such as Northwestern Europe and the Carpathian Mountains. Its preference for damp and shaded forests sets it apart from other Sphagnum species that typically inhabit open bogs.

Color Diversity: One of the most attractive features of this species is its color variability. Ranging from pale green to yellowish-green, and even including shades of yellow, pink, or red, Sphagnum quinquefarium can sometimes appear entirely red. This chromatic diversity not only beautifies its surroundings but also aids in its identification in the field.

Portion size approx. 6x3 cm.
