That is really hard to tell. But the type looks like a Acrocarpous moss

Jellis, I found this in my backyard. One of many specimens! It's a macro shot, but it basically looks like that fluffy green moss one might see on large rocks (this was on a huge granite boulder).

If it was where the map is located it could be a transplant of Sagina subulata 'Irish Moss'

Can you describe where you found it? In a yard or a forest?
