Icelandic moss, also known as lungwort or fever moss, is found in the cooler temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere, such as Iceland and Norway.
There, the medicinal plant grows on mountain heaths, in moors, but also in sparse forests.The growth is antler-like and the branched shoots are 4-12 cm tall and form loose carpets lying on the ground.Around the 17th century, healers spread knowledge about lichen throughout Europe.The number of plants is declining due to human influence, so it is under nature protection in many places.
