CLUB MOSS

 Chapter: Entheogens

AKA: Lycopodium complanatum, Lycopodium selago, wolf's foot.

Effects: Lycopodium selago can induce a mild hypnotic narcosis or a comatose state, depending on the dosage taken, yet Lycopodium complanatum can have a stimulating effect. In Peru, another species of club moss is often added to San Pedro.

Precautions: James A. Duke, Ph.D., has found that Chinese club moss (Hu-perzia serrata) and Lycopodium club mosses both contain the beneficial compound huperzine; however, for psychoactive effects, it appears each species is distinctly different from the others, and different parts of each plant are used.

Dosage: According to William Emboden, three stems of Lycopodium selago will induce a hypnotic narcosis.

I have club moss, air moss and reindeer moss in my forest. Are there people who will buy this stuff?, I've heard that moss is used by florists and horticulturists as a decorative addition for their arrangements - how can I reach the wholesalers who supply them?

Try the Bristol Flower/fruit and Veg Market, off the feeder Rd...this link should put you in touch with a whole bunch of local florists!

I'm growing MOSS in my lawn - lots of it! What can I add to the soil to clear up the problem?, There is a large oak in the front of the house and it pelts the ground with twigs, leaves, and you name it - this tree sheds it - acorns, bark, and the whole doughnut. I'm in the South - Little Rock - and the soil is not the usual Illinois black dirt that I grew up with... this stuff gets as hard as dry clay tho it looks like a light brown loam to me and it certainly grows bushes and trees and WEEDS very well. The moss is green (or yellow-green according to the moisture in the ground) and I'd call it a club moss if I was forced to give it a specific name. I've tried more water... less water... light tilling and replanting with seed... chemical ferterlizers... I'm about out of ideas. Help.. help.. help. Please.

First, you can't quit watering your oak. It needs a lot of water.
The oak's shallow roots soak up water and nutrients and keep out good grass and allows nothing to grow but moss, weeds, poison ivy, etc.

I have a ton of oaks and plant flower beds around them. The drip line is beyond the beds for the most part and the dirt, manure and sand I have added create a rich, moist environment for both the oak and the plants. Try variegated ginger, ivy, monkey or mondo grass for the border, iron plants for deep shade, caladiums, ferns, asian jasmine and whatever else you like.

But, if you do not add a bed, expect hard, mossy soil underneath the oak and more weeds.

what are the distinguishing features of club mosses, whisk ferns, and horsetails? How they differ from ferns?,

These are types of bryophytes, the only group of plants that do not have vascular tissue. Because they don't have vascular tissue, they are fairly small so all their cells can be near water.

Also, in bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant generation, rather than the sporophyte (which is the dominant generation in ferns).

Which plants are (mc) club mosses?, Which plants are characterized by a conducting system, the possession of cuticles, specialized stems, and roots, stomata, and, in many species, seeds? 

A. liverworts

B. mosses

C. tracheophyte

D. horsetails

E. club mosses

i want to say club mosses

C. The tracheophytes are the only ones in this list that have seeds.

Liverworts and mosses are nonvascular and have no true roots, stems, leaves, or seeds.

Horsetails and club mosses are vascular, but they never have seeds.
