Steve,
That makes it Lycopodium clavatum.
Looking at that other moss-it is fairly common as I saw that up behind HSC in Arcata. I do not know what it is. There is one with a name that I cannot believe that is like Rhizadelphus or something-I will get back to you on this.
If you are interested in finding out and would like to learn how to key out mosses then look for the book by Norris. I will try and get the name from him, as he is at Berkeley.

One question: those leaves on the left side: more of the Montia species or
a possible orchid????

Also to help you try
efloras.org as they have keys. do not know if they have Montia but probably

You can find sphagnum in your area in any wet place such as drainage ditches or any place where water is constant and often running.
I really wanted to make up to your part of the state years ago but only got as far as Big Lagoon on the coast. The image is of sphagnum I grow. Once you see it then you know it. It is easy to id.
