|discussion=<p><i>Funaria microstoma</i> has not often been recognized by North American collectors. It may be overlooked because it is found in habitats where the similar <i>F. hygrometrica</i> might be expected. It can be distinguished in the field with a hand lens by the small capsule mouth and the narrow leaves near the stem tip.</p>
