Pleurozium schreberi

This moss I took from a wall on the Mendips. The leaves are translucent so when wet the red stems show up much more. The leaves are distinctive having a double nerve and red at the base. I noticed on some leaves there is a fold from half way to the tip that allows the leaf to hug around the stem, others looked to be naturally curved.
