Trying to get some sphagnum moss in bulk, does this look okay to use?

I'm not familiar with that particular brand, but I've been using Chilean/Andes moss for a while now and I like it a lot.

Let us know what you think of that moss. When I need a bunch of dried sphagnum, I get the
big bag of SuperMoss. It costs $5 less than the moss you found, but I have to pick out some twigs and roots. If this Chilean moss is relatively clean, I'd like to give it a try.

My major problem with SuperMoss is knowing what it actually is. When SpagMoss was hard to come by and was full of sticks and leaves when you could get it, I went looking for alternatives. I got in contact with the folks at SuperMoss, asking if it was Chilean. After several conversations, they point blank said they weren't going to tell me. That was a pretty big red flag, so I kept looking. I've been using 3A Peruvian moss from Andesmoss on Ebay and I'm really happy with it. The stuff Carnies found looks pretty good, too.
