nostr:npub183ks336sqr7mwgnqzns70c22h7d9rd3g7h0xp7yjkwdf48newa6qncssxn someone was telling me about a moss that grows in the low mountain areas of the puget sound basin that essentially is like a bread moss. a good analogy would be gravel in concrete. it adds structure. supposedly this moss has sort of a neutral nutrient profile, but if you grind it up and mix it with mushy food that would pretty much always just be a blob, you can make cakes. have you ever heard of this?

No. This is a new one for me. I have to look into it.
Cetraria islandica?
I think I have seen it. I have to keep an eye out.
Although this seems more adapted to alpine habitats
I honestly didn't know this kind of moss existed. However, I think that when food is scarce, many types of moss can be ground into a paste and eaten. If there's plenty of food, who would eat this kind of moss?
