ID of common moss...

Hi, I'm doing a Biology Project on a common moss, growing in the northern Dales of the UK, and probably elsewhere. It seems to grow on sycamore, ash and some beech trees, in small woods, as a thick "carpet" on the trunk, getting less as you go up the tree. It is more abundant on the north side, suggesting it likes shade (I think!). I was told it was Red Stem Moss, but that seems quite a broad description, and it's not Shreber's big red stem moss. Any one got any advice on its common/latin name and the conditions it likes? Thanks so much!!
