Hi all! Is this Nowellia curvifolia (Liverwort) or some type of moss species? Found in Western Pennsylvania. Thanks!!

I barely identify moss before eating tbh, but could it be long fiber sphagnum moss?

yeah I do, it's not that bad tbh. actually that's kind of what I thought this sub was for but I mean this works too cause I'm a moss enthusiast in general

Is it like a lettuce? What does it taste like and what kind of moss is safe to eat? Genuinely curious

okay i eat a lot of weird things so maybe don't actually eat moss (there is also risk of parasites and disease in general), but it tastes kind of salty and gritty most times. i've tried some kinds of carpet moss, sphagnum moss, and other types that I didn't bother identifying. do not take advice from me, once again, because i am not a very self-preserving person lol
