Dicranum elongatum , the elongated fork-tooth moss , is a species of moss from the Dicranaceae family.
The moss grows in densely rhizoid felt pads and is characterized by upright, glossy leaves about 3 to 4 mm in size. The tip of the leaf is entire or finely serrated. The leaf vein ends in the leaf tip or emerges from it. The lamina cells are heavily spotted on the leaf base, the upper ones are rounded to square.
The species is widespread in the arctic-alpine region and is very variable in terms of stem and leaf length. It occurs in alpine locations on moderately acidic humus in dwarf shrub heaths , on rocks and in moors.
