Lycopodium Management


by Elizabeth Nauertz, USDA Forest Service and Colleen Matula, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources:





Introduction and Background


Lycopodium, or club moss, species occur relatively frequently in northern hardwood forests (Curtis, 1959; Kotar, Kovach, and Locey, 1988). Lycopodium comes from the Greek words "luko" (wolf) and "podos" (foot); thus the common name of "wolf's paw" or "wolf's foot."





Lycopodium species are not related to the mosses as some might think, but rather are related to the ferns and are considered to be fern-allies. They are evergreen, perennial, clonal, and rhizomatous in nature. Habitat range for each Lycopodium species may vary, but typically they are found in cool, moist conditions, can tolerate a range of nutrient availability, and can withstand a wide range of light conditions. Often they are found in maple-basswood or mixed pine-hardwoods.





A variety of species of Lycopodium occur in the northern forests. The most common to these forests are as listed: Lycopodium dendroideum (round-branched ground pine), Lycopodium obscurum (flat-branched ground pine), Lycopodium lucidulum (shining club moss), Lycopodium annotinum (bristly or stiff club moss), Lycopodium complanatum (ground cedar), and Lycopodium clavatum (running club moss or wolf's paw).





Of this group of species, the ground pines, also known as princess pine, are the most heavily harvested or gathered. Ground pines are allowed for harvest via a permitting process on federal national forest lands. Permits are also issued for harvest on Michigan and Minnesota state forest lands. Harvest by permit is not allowed on Wisconsin state forest land. Lycopodium complanatum (ground cedar) and Lycopodium clavatum (running club moss) are also often gathered, but only from privately owned lands and with landowner permission.
