Funaria hygrometrica is a highly plausible, but not guaranteed, identification. This moss is fairly common (especially in burnt areas), often produces dense masses of stalked spore capsules and, if I enlarge the image, the spore capsules look to be curved and asymmetric. However, to see what I think are those features I need to enlarge the image to such a degree that fuzziness becomes pronounced in many parts. In case you're interested, here (http://www.cpbr.gov.au/bryophyte/photos-captions/funaria-hygrometrica-MIOB.html) the spore capsules are very immature and here (http://www.cpbr.gov.au/bryophyte/photos-captions/funaria-hygrometrica-sporophyte.html) there is a mix of more advanced but still immature (the green ones) and brown mature capsules (though with the lids still to drop from the capsule mouths).
