Bryales is an order of mosses.

Taxonomy

The order Bryales includes the following five families:[1][2]

The order used to be defined broadly to include the Rhizogoniales, but is now used in a narrower sense.[3] A species of the Mniaceae genus Rhizomnium, Rhizomnium dentatum, was described from fossil gametophytes preserved in Baltic amber.[4]

The families Catoscopiaceae and Pseudoditrichaceae were previously placed in Bryales, but are now placed in Dicranidae as part of an early branching grade.[2][5]
