Sphagnum fuscum prefers older, drier bogs to inhabit and will formulate hummocks in such conditions. During the sporophyte stage, the moss will have a short stalk of around 1-2mm, with a brown capsule of about 1-1.5mm. The leaves along the stem are tongue-shaped, while the leaves along the branches are pointed and lance-shaped. The moss will form thread-like branches interwoven within hummocks. It is individually less robust than other peat mosses, especially when clumped into compact hummocks. Sphagnum fuscum is brown to greenish brown in color with slender brown stems. Sphagnum fuscum, the rusty bogmoss or rusty peat moss, is a peat moss found commonly in Norway and Sweden, and can be found scattered across North America, the United Kingdom, and in southern to eastern Europe.
