May Day!

I don’t know the mosses and don’t have an ID book for them. This resembles the rock cap moss (try propagating with a sugar mixture).
Here’s a plan: use moss instead of grass for a tidy ground cover in your yard (garden if you’re in Britain).
I suspect it’s just a bit too hot/dry in our wee yard ecosystem to support moss except in the very shady places—where it’s already established.
I’ve also heard of using thyme (here, for example), which also smells great when you take a stroll.
