Thanks Lars! Can you tell me anything about this one? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/9298210

These are the calyptras of some kind of Bryophytha (genus) --> Bryopsida (class) moss. Probably a type Buxbaumia (genus) Moss

Thanks for taking a look Clive. I don't know anything about identifying mosses but I like to get photo when they are fruiting.
