Physcomitrium eurystomum
We took a small sample and have grown it on.
It took almost a month for these to appear.
Finger's crossed for when the calyptras come off?

Silver Birch
Harnbeam (Carpinus betulus)
Lyell's Bristle-moss (Pulvigera lyellii)
Pincushion Sp (Ulota Sp)
Straw Bristle-moss (Orthotrichum stramineum)

The white hairs at the base of the seta were also present as well as the dark antheridia.
