The shoots are up to 10 centimeters (4 inches) tall, with scales blunt, concave, 2.5 to 3 millimeters long and densely overlapping, which gives the shoots a swollen, turgid appearance. It is visually similar to the circumboreal ribbed bog moss (Aulacomnium palustre).[4]
Aulacomnium turgidum grows on alkaline substrates in open habitats on ledges and crags, often in alpine environments.[5]
