      Ooooh!!! While I have not personally tried air filteration using moss, I do have some information that could prove usefull, I would start with the larger varieties like sphagnum, or haircap, I would go for a mix of haircap, pincushion (it withstands dryer conditions), if air circulation is going to be constant a fogger or misting system would be advised to regulate the humidity, aim for 70 to 80 % that way by time it gets through the ducts, it should be around 65%, this is super interesting and I would love to know how it turns out 😁

    haha that is a funny video man, reminds me of when i washed my first moss to prevent problems and i went "above and beyond", then I noticed i still introduced 1 isopod of the common variety AND the all mighty gods of death, thrips! 🤣 But I don't know which moss I have because mine can also grow very well while 100% submerged under water. To me it looks exactly like spoon-leaved moss which is apparently critically endangered (not because of me LOL), and it happened to be the prettiest on my property. I have had it under water for over a month and it kept growing very healthy. If I had known, i would have put the whole thing in there, but I m convinced thrips can survive anything 🥲 no idea how u guys deal with them in those fancy terrariums without them sickening and devouring all your fancy plants!

      Oooh these are excellent questions my fellow lifeform, the problem with a permawet bog like substrate is mold and slim both of which will out compete moss, however, aquatic moss that is a climated to grow immersed or partly in water can do great, espesially if the area has a waterfall, or waterflow, do keep in mind that terrestrial mosses do need the air humid, and best conditions are usually dryer substrate and higher ambient humidity, but then again there are 10s of thousands of species so i speak of the habd full i have experience with, fern moss, string moss, thread moss, badge moss...etc planning a comprehensive moss movie if you will where i go into great detail😁

      The concept does indeed work, I have not tried with glue, but i did make a powder from aqua soil, add some water and live moss, blend them all together, a thick paste works best, if lighting is good and the paste doesn't dry out, you should find it turning green within about 2 weeks 😁

It is takes in a few months, i will try to dig up patches in the back garden (which we turned into a veg garden). My parents are retired and in their 80s so a grass lawn is just too much effort.
