There's moss on trees?

When did this happen? You can find Mossy Tree Trunks at random in Forest Mines. The moss always faces North (though it's a myth that moss only grows North) so it's easy enough to find. Still, when was this added? And will the new trunks have a use? I've seen them in the files for a loooong time, so it is nice to see them added.

Moss can literally grow on any side of a tree. No side is going to be more or less, it all depends on the tree and its position and all that. I like how I don't need to move my camera to find them though.

Nothing even makes sense anymore
When large trees grow close together it forms what is called a canopy. It's where new trees find it hard to grow. There is little amounts of light, and moss grows everywhere.
When a tree can no longer create leaves (lack of cabium cells), or is dying, it no longer has shade for there to be a darker ecosystem. When a tree has leaves, there is lack of sun and moss can grow quite a bit. Not just on the north side. Even through there is sun "on the south side", the tree still is covered by the leaves.
So moss does not just grow on the north side, and can growing any side it wants to *moss crosses arms and drops shoulders*. So yeah. They either don't grow at all, or grow on any side. Just saying, go to any bush (Canada has loads of you wanna come see), and you will notice it grows on any side, not just the north side.
It also grows on most kinds of rocks (whether the rock is in complete sun or not).
@Intimate Mushrooms can grow in the sun. That is another thing we have that grows wild in our yard. They grow in the full sun areas, not just under the trees. I have days where I wish the sun would kill them because they are a pain to get rid of once they start growing. I was in my front yard (where there are no trees or shade) last week carefully picking the ones that were growing. They spread like wildfire if you disturb the spores too much. Maybe you live somewhere that it is very dry so they won't grow well. We live in a very humid area so moss and mushrooms are common to see in yards.
