Reindeer moss

[JameyStanley]

I have heard that you can eat reindeer moss. I live in Missouri, and I am pretty sure I found some. My question is... Is there anything that looks like reindeer moss that would be bad for me to eat? Also any tips for eating it?

You can eat reindeer moss if that's really what it is. You should use multiple sources to cross check.

Here's an in-depth article on reindeer moss from a foraging site:

Cut & pasted the full link, which had it's own title. Can't say I came up with it!
