The green or veil goblin moss ( Buxbaumia viridis ) is a deciduous moss species from the Buxbaumiaceae family . Synonyms are Buxbaumia aphylla var. Viridis Moug. ex Lam. & DC. and Buxbaumia indusiata Brid.

description

The plants usually grow singly. As with the other Buxbaumia species, only the sporophytes are conspicuous, plants without developed sporophytes are practically impossible to find.

The almost upright spore capsule is lifted up by the 0.5 to 1 centimeter long, upright, plump, yellowish-red to orange-brown, warty seta . It is the same color from olive-green to yellowish-brown, obliquely elongated and egg-shaped, bulging on one side, 6 to 7 millimeters long, 3.5 millimeters wide and has a short neck. The capsule lid is frustoconical. The outer peristome has four rows, the outer teeth being shorter than the inner ones; the inner peristome forms a folded tube. When the spores are ripe in spring and summer, the capsule wall bursts lengthways and rolls back on both sides. Spores are 8 to 15 µm in size, yellowish green and more or less smooth.

Location claims and distribution

Buxbaumia viridis grows in shady forests in humid areas with high levels of precipitation on rotten wood, rarely on raw humus. Frequent accompanying mosses are Blepharostoma trichophyllum , Lophocolea heterophylla , Nowellia curvifolia , Tetraphis pellucida or Hypnum cupressiforme .

Buxbaumia viridis is widespread in parts of the northern hemisphere. The occurrences in Europe are mainly in the mountain areas of Central Europe and southern Scandinavia, in the other parts it is rare or extinct. There are other occurrences on the Crimean peninsula, in the Caucasus and in western North America.

Hazard and protection

So far, the species was thought to be lost in most of the federal states of Germany. After 2007 finds from Thuringia became known, in the following years the new find for the Saarland (2012), re-finds for Hesse (2013), Rhineland-Palatinate (2014), Saxony-Anhalt (2015) and Saxony (2016). In Baden-Württemberg it is classified as endangered. In the Red Lists for Bavaria and Germany, it is no longer considered severely endangered, it is now a kind of warning list. It is considered potentially endangered throughout Europe (ECCB - European Committee for Conservation of Bryophytes). According to the Bern Convention, it is one of the few protected species of moss. It is also a type of European Directive 92/43 / EEC (Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive) Annex II and is therefore one of the species of Community interest .

In order to protect and promote this species, it would be necessary to ensure that there is sufficient rot wood in suitable forest locations.
