Spontaneous Moss?

[SilverLake]

So I noticed this green moss/algae growing on my driftwood, and I haven't thought much if it, but I figured I might as well ask and see if anyone recognized it.

Any ideas as to what it may be are welcome.

It's moss but it's hard to tell what type.

I don't know what it is. But, it reminds me of fissidens moss.

That's a really good guess, I just don't know where it would have come from, I've never even owned any.

Yes, it's a Fissidens species. Also known as phoenix moss, feather moss, and tongue moss. No idea how it got there, but lucky you!

I see two different mosses, Phoenix moss and Java moss. I think in the second picture, the Java moss is above the Phoenix moss

I think this person was mainly referring to the Phoenix moss.

I was, and thank you for the confirmation. As I said, I have no idea where it came from.

It's actually some leftover strands from the Christmas moss that I had tried tied to the top of the tree. That didn't go so well and I ended up tearing it out after I got a large hair algae issue.
