Reindeer moss can be used dried for decoration, crafts and as an alternative to bubble wrap in packaging.
The reindeer moss is actually a lichen, latin name Cladonia rangiferina. It grows mainly in Alpine regions although it can grow in warmer climates. Harvest should be done conscientiously given lichen is slow growing (3–11 mm per year) and may take decades to return. [1]
