About Breutelia chrysocoma (Hedw.) Lindb.
Breutelia chrysocoma, which has the common names bottle brush moss and golden-head moss, is a species of moss that belongs to the Bartramiaceae family. This is an attractive, easily noticeable moss that occurs most commonly in the north Atlantic region. Its core populations are located in western Britain, Ireland, and western Norway. Additional populations have been recorded across western and central Europe, but these are far less common than populations found in the hyper-oceanic zone of northwest Europe. Breutelia chrysocoma grows most often on upland acidic grassland, particularly in areas near flushes.
