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

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

Certainly looks like C. dubia, from its environment, overall appearance and spreading habit.
