Iceland moss – what is it?

Despite its name, which refers to Iceland, this lichen is native to cold and mountainous areas of Europe (stretching from Iceland to Spain). It also reproduced in North America. It grows in damp and cool places near marshes, heaths and forests. It prefers acidic soils. In the north, it grows in open areas, while in the south it appears in shady areas. The reference to Iceland is not because it comes from this region, but rather because in the past, this lichen was used exclusively as food on the island. It was collected at night or when it rained and macerated to eliminate its bitterness.

Iceland moss is classified as a group of organisms that originated from the symbiosis of a fungus with algae or cyanobacteria. It can be 2.5 to 10 cm tall, although the average is 5 to 6 cm. It consists of a vegetative body that can have a wide range of colors: from dark green, brownish-gray with reddish shades to white. It forms flattened, ribbed, divided and irregularly shaped or serrated leaves with cilia. It has a rubbery and leather-like texture.
