Irish Moss and other "mosses"

[Dr. Janice Haldeman]

We play "to tell the truth" with mosses...each student represents a "so-called
moss" including Irish moss ( Chondrus crispus ), reindeer moss ( Cladonia sp.
) Club moss,
( Lycopodium sp.) Spanish moss ( Tillandsia usnoides ) Moss rose ( Portulaca
sp. ), and the real one..usually peat moss ( Sphagnum sp. )  I'd be happy to
receive suggestions for any other candidates for the game!..."Will the real
moss please stand up!"
