Thank you. Have looked for such a species and only mention as far as I can ascertain is of a polytrichum commune mass, of which no records currently on this region. This would qualify as a commune. I also found another of same in this area but not photographed. Moderator will clarify but interesting suggestion. Ps @dcnicholls I just checked field guide and there are several entries under Polytrichum so looking more likely. Thanks

Can’t advise on the species, doubtless someone else will comment. I’ve seen clumps like this on Black Mountain (many years ago)

A clear justification of the need for our expert moderators. I also thought it was a moss and I had good close look at it. I checked out the berries on other examples on Naturemapr and they look like tiny red grapes. I wonder if they are edible.
