Might be something other than Racometrium elongatum

The Pacific Northwest lowlands have hundreds of moss species. Several friends tell me that if I learn a few dozen species, I’ll know about 80% of what I find. But here in front of me is one of those others. We initially thought it might be Racometrium elongatum, but it doesn’t have tiny white fibers, like gray hairs, coming from the top. Something new, another trip with my friends, will be needed.
