Sphagnum cuspidatum, also known as feathery bogmoss, toothed sphagnum, or toothed peat moss, is a common peat moss found in Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, the eastern coast of the United States, and Colombia. It has brown to greenish brown color with narrow green stems and triangular-ovate leaves. It is a dioecious species and produces spores covered with papillae. S. cuspidatum is dominant in bogs and has a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that helps in methane consumption. However, it can also be infected with a fungus that causes skin lesions. This moss prefers damp conditions and is used for its antiseptic properties, as a packing material, and in water purification. It has also been used as a fuel source and for germinating seeds.
