The Iceland moss is a lichen found in the rocks and tree barks of Iceland and the Scandinavian countries. The Iceland moss is made up of a fungal component and an algal component, both of which exist together in a symbiotic association. It usually grows to a maximum of four inches in height.
The plant body of the Iceland moss is curled, erect, and is laden with numerous branches & unique spiny margins. The upper surface of the Iceland moss is colored brown while the lower or the outer surface is normally gray-brown with distinctive white spots all over it.
The active constituent of the Iceland moss is lichenin, a type of starch. It also has complex polysaccharides that have immunostimulant effects. The mucous membrane-clearing property of the lichenin is released by making Iceland moss tea.
The tea is usually made by placing a teaspoon of the dried Iceland moss herbs in boiling water. Let the mix boil for about three minutes. Then take it out of the fire and let it stand for a further ten minutes. Two cups of Iceland moss tea may be taken during the day, preferably one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

They grow well in Iceland because it is one of the least polluted countries in the world. Most of the lichens in Europe were contaminated by the fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident, but Iceland received much less radioactivity, and the lichens were relatively safe.
