Spanish moss is a type of epiphytic bromeliad that hangs from trees in warm, humid climates, particularly in the southern United States. It has long, gray-green strands and is often found draping over branches. In contrast, reindeer moss is a type of lichen, specifically Cladonia rangiferina, that grows in cold, northern regions and has a bushy, light-colored appearance. While Spanish moss is not a true moss and is primarily a plant, reindeer moss is a symbiotic organism made up of both fungi and algae.

Is there a poisonous moss?

there is a poisonous marine moss called noctiluca, but is only poisonous to fish. ^^ About that answer... I looked up Noctiluca, and the only thing I found was a protozoan. And a protozoan is definitely not a moss. Also, I was under the impression that moss - true moss, anyways; lots of plants have the name "moss" but aren't actually, i.e. Reindeer Moss, Irish Moss, Spanish Moss - is terrestrial, meaning there's no such thing as marine moss. Anyways, hope that helps!
