A Storied Forest Herb

Lycopodium clavatum L. has been valued for centuries in European herbalism, particularly in woodland regions, for its fine fronds and natural versatility. Commonly referred to as clubmoss, wolf’s-foot, or stag’s-horn moss, it is easily identifiable by its trailing stems covered in tiny, scale-like leaves. Historically, the plant was collected in late summer and early autumn, carefully dried, and used in various herbal applications.

In traditional European practice, Lycopodium was prized for its light, airy texture and subtle earthy character. The dried herb was used in infusions, powders, and herbal blends, often combined with other forest herbs to create aromatic, layered flavours. Its long-standing heritage demonstrates the herb’s adaptability and enduring presence in herbal traditions.
