I'm told this moss is in the family Orthotrichaceae and with a good chance of it being a species of Orthotrichum. In the drawn-back photo you see some brownish stems & leaves of a liverwort in the genus Frullania growing over a white crustose lichen. On the left of the moss clump there's a lot more Frullania, but a bit more cryptic on the dark substrate.
