This is a common moss that grows on soil, rock, wood, and other substrates in neutral to calcareous habitats, such as stream banks, woodlands, hedge banks, grasslands, arable fields, parks and gardens.

This is a widespread moss that grows on soil, rock, wood, and other substrates in moist or wet habitats, such as stream banks, marshes, fens, bogs, wet woodlands, and ditches. It forms large or small patches of green shoots with broad leaves. It is found throughout England.
This is a less common moss that grows on soil or rock in wet or seepage habitats, such as springs, flushes, wet cliffs, waterfalls, and lake shores. It forms dense or loose patches of green shoots with narrow leaves. It is mainly found in the west and north of England, but also occurs in some parts of the east and south.
This is a common moss that grows on soil or rock in dry or exposed habitats, such as heaths, moors, dunes, rocky slopes, quarries, and old walls. It forms mats or tufts of grey-green shoots with white hair-points. It is mainly found in the west and north of England, but also occurs in some parts of the east and south.
Pohlia Nutans
Pohlia Elongata
There are several species of Pohlia in England that grow on soil or rock in various habitats. Some are common and widespread (such as Pohlia nutans), while others are rare or localised (such as Pohlia elongata). They are usually small mosses that form tufts or cushions of green shoots with narrow leaves. They often produce capsules with long beaks that bend when dry.
This is a common moss that grows on soil or rock in dry or open habitats, such as heaths, moors, dunes, grasslands, roadsides, and disturbed sites. It forms tufts or cushions of yellow-green shoots with long hair-points. It is found throughout England.
