Funaria hygrometrica, known as the bonfire moss or common cord-moss, is a type of water moss that grows on shady, moist soil, on moist walls, and in the crevices of rocks, including places where a fire has recently burned. It has even been reported growing in an artificially illuminated cave with no natural light, where its growth form changes so that its internodes lengthen and its leaves become longer and narrower.
