| | | unidentified moss-type plant
I wonder if anyone could identify this for me. 
Large carpets of it were covering areas of the woodland floor (and stumps etc...) in a coniferous/mixed part of the New Forest in Hampshire.
Its like moss, but not really, if you see what I mean.
I know its common, and I feel I should know it, but I don't!
Any help appreciated please!
Cheers

Hi Doug
Not like a moss!! It is a moss  , looks to me like a Polytrichum species but it is a long time since I spent any time on mosses. How tall is it?
All the best

I'd agree that it appears to be one of the Polytrichum sp or hair mosses. | | |
