"exact name" with such photos? Mosses identification is difficult. For me, these are some Sphagnum like mosses (which should be ok for Venus-Flytrap), but I'm far for an expert. – Giacomo Catenazzi Mar 01 '18 at 06:14

@GiacomoCatenazzi the pictures are good quality if you zoom them. But anyway, could you point me to some page with high-quality pictures of the main types of moss?, do you know of any such resource?. – Jaime Hablutzel Mar 01 '18 at 20:32

There are many parallel evolution. Usually books have hand made diagrams. Important characters are form of leaflets, how are the veins. But for full determination, you need a microscope. My "identification" is given by colours and form: it seems mosses in water. But I'm not an expert, maybe some other type of mosses are similar. – Giacomo Catenazzi Mar 01 '18 at 20:57
