Reindeer moss, also known as "lichen," is a unique organism that thrives in arctic and subarctic regions. It is not a true moss but a combination of fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Reindeer moss has a delicate, tufted appearance, ranging in color from grayish-green to yellow. Reindeer moss can be found in dry, nutrient-poor environments such as tundra and boreal forests, providing a critical food source for reindeer and other grazing animals during harsh winter months.
