This pan of New Zealand long-fiber sphagnum moss is looking fuzzy. Has it resuscitated itself, or hosting some other kind of local moss?

Honestly, it looks like either a lower quality Sphagnum moss resurrected, or maybe just some algae giving it some green.
LFSM will be feathery and full, but with some potential brownish tips.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

This is some NZLFSM with some U. Sandersonii that I got earlier this year, after it rejuvenated itself a bit.

I have this spreading across my collection, it seems to love the muggy Carolina summer and is not killed by cold. It is connecting pots like a bridge.
