Splachnum sphaericum, also known as pinkstink dung moss,[1] is a species of moss. This species occurs in North America.[1] It also occurs in upland Britain, where it is known as round-fruited collar-moss[2][3] and in north temperate and boreal regions of Europe. Its habitat is bog and wet heathland where it grows on herbivore dung. This and other Splachnum species are entomophilous. The sporophytes, which are generally coloured red or black, produce an odour of carrion that is attractive to flies and the spores are dispersed by flies to fresh dung. [4]
