to christopher :
\"Is Moss Edible?
Spanish Moss fresh from the tree (before curing) is eaten by livestock during the winter months in much the same manner that hay is consumed. The outer bark of the strands (of a greyish color) probably contains some nourishment but not much. The fibre within this bark has no nutritive value but it serves as bulk. It is very doubtful that any animal could survive on a diet of green moss alone.
