Fog,kent forbye as moss, is sindry wee, saft plaunts that's 1–10 cm (0.4–4 in) lang for ordinar, tho some species is mair muckle. Thay growe for ordinar near thegither in wee busses or basses in dunk, urie or shady airts. Thay dinnae hae flouers or seeds, an thair aefauld leafs kivers the shilpie stalks. At certain times fog brings furth spore cods thit micht kythe as beak-like cods hoven alaft on shilpie stalks.

Fogs is aften mistaen forcrottle,a kynd ofungusthit bides simbiotically wialgaeorcyanobacteria,acause thair appearance is similar.
