[PCA] Post NY Times moss article

[Liz Fischer]

Try interior decorating...have you been to your local artsy-craftsy store recently. Take a look.
Moss is EVERYWHERE except in its natural setting. The most eggregious use I've seen in recent
years was on Trading Spaces (TM) when designer Genevieve Gorder "papered" an entire wall with
dried moss.

Thanks for an interesting article you forwarded. My ignorant question is, "what is all this moss
used for?" Can it be used as sphagnum moss is?

Attached is an article from today's NY Times science section (Nov. 30, 2004). The original article
in the paper has a couple of good photos. It's a fair assessment of very complex issue.
