After he retired, Robert Muma (my father) became very interested in mosses. His approach was scientific as well as artistic, and both were rooted in his lifelong love for the natural world. He has since passed away, and I have made his materials available to people, both here on my website as well as printed copies for sale.

My primary purpose in making these materials available is to keep his work alive and available. They are reasonably priced in order to help achieve this goal. All proceeds from sales go towards keeping this website and my other websites online.
