    Getting mixed results from different identification apps. Sorry the pictures are so blurry, I don’t know why my phone has to turn every picture into an action shot.

    Moss, I would say. Maybe sphagnum moss?

    It’s a moss, possibly Atrichum or Polytrichum. I’m by no means an moss expert, though!

    As everyone said it’s a moss, looks like Polytrichum formosum

    I’m guessing *Polytrichum formosum* based on the green antheridia.

    Mosses are plants. I don’t understand why all these comments are specifying moss like it doesn’t belong in /r/whatsthisplant
