Letter: Reader thinks the moss clumps are reindeer moss; really lichen

I am not a moss expert, and it is very difficult to see any detail in the photo. Having provided those caveats, it looks like it might be what is commonly called reindeer moss, which is actually a lichen Cladonia rangiferina.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer_moss and let me know what you think.

Regards,
Mike
