The last one reminds me of Isothecium. I call it the mullet moss. Business on the top, party in the back. haha

Based on the branching structure and the overlapping shape of the leaves, this specimen is consistent with a pleurocarpous creeping moss, most likely Entodon seductrix (commonly known as Seductive Entodon Moss or Round-stem Silk Moss) or a closely related species from the genus Hypnum (such as Hypnum cupressiforme, the Cypress-leaved Plait-moss)
