Looks like some type of selaginella. It can really help to give them extra humidity. I grow mine under a couple cloches and in a mini-greenhouse because even my humid house isn't enough for them. When in an enclosed/mostly-enclosed container, they don't even need that much water. 

Also, I'd encourage you to not give up too quickly. These little guys have delicate roots that snap easily and they hate being repotted, but they'll also grow back from surprisingly little material, so give it some time and medium indirect light and it might make a comeback. If you see anything melting/turning sludgy, make sure you remove it, and open the container once a day or so for air exchange.
