Potentially Encalypta rhaptocarpa? But not E. vulgaris due to hair pointed phyllids. Otherwise note, oblong shape, acute tip ending in awn and toothed, basal cells long and smooth, strong costa, entire margins, pluripapillose cells visible in cross section and on phyllid surface. Note how attachment to costa at the end of the phyllid is asymmetrical, one side joining a few cells lower than the other.

Found growing in metal pipe.

Potentially Racomitrium lanuginosum. Growing on road side. Lots of short tufted branches. Decurrent hairpoint with a 90 degree reflex can be seen in fourth image.

Long acuminate tip that is densely papillate. Rest of phyllid is also papillate.

Potentially Racomitrium lanuginosum. Growing on road side. Lots of short tufted branches. Decurrent hairpoint with a 90 degree reflex can be seen in fourth image.

Long acuminate tip that is densely papillate. Rest of phyllid is also papillate.

Potentially R. curiosissimum. Found in disturbed gravel car park.

Phyllid is deeply plicate as seen in 4th and 5th image. The 6th and 7th image are potentially the decurrent alar cells present in this species. Image 8 and 9 show how the phyllid changes into the hyaline acumen in different styles. In 10 and 11 note the lack of papillae. 12 showcases the prominate sinuose cells

I do not think it is R. pruinosum as the hyaline tip is not papillate in any way.
