Juniper Haircap Moss - Polytrichastrum juniperinum

I looked right down on the canopy of these Juniper Haircap Mosses. This species is the larger member of Polytrichastrum that we have in western Washington. They form a jungle, and I wonder what fauna might be mingling with all those trunks and leaves.
