I remember when I was out and about in the outdoors when I was younger and being told that you could tell which direction was north by which side the moss grows on. A lot of movies and TV shows also say things like this.
I was always kind of skeptical of this because it seemed to me the moss was growing in all sorts of directions. So out of curiosity I decided to look it up, and it looks like I wasn't wrong:
