Hmm....so then perhaps it will be very easy to make the initial three 
variants. Just change leaf shape/texture and scale.
Sweet! :-D

I've looked at other more complicated mosses/liverworts, but I'm not sure 
trying to make them would really be worth it until I learn how to make 
meshes(damned triangles), as I think they might render slowly unless meshes 
are used. Right now this renders relatively quickly, even with the leaves 
being differenced cones (I was surprised).

I guess I'll need to study various IFS and perhaps the trace vine macro that 
comes with povray, nomatter the method I choose to use for future moss 
construction.

Perhaps I'll have a decently useful macro suite to contribute soon-ish. 
(clouds, moss, corrosion, snow/icicles and various utility macros)
I'd definitely like to give something back to the community.
