Where do mosses mostly grow?

It is worth knowing that they can grow on absolutely all continents, even in cold Antarctica. As a rule, they form rather dense clusters. They prefer darkened places. Often they can be seen just near some body of water. They can also grow in fairly dry areas. It is worth knowing that the so-called sphagnum mosses are, so to speak, the cause of peat formation. Some mosses can grow up to fifty centimeters in height.
