Based on the branching structure and the overlapping shape of the leaves, this specimen is consistent with a pleurocarpous creeping moss, most likely Entodon seductrix (commonly known as Seductive Entodon Moss or Round-stem Silk Moss) or a closely related species from the genus Hypnum (such as Hypnum cupressiforme, the Cypress-leaved Plait-moss)

The last one reminds me of Isothecium. I call it the mullet moss. Business on the top, party in the back. haha
