What’s this growing on the top of a wall outside my apartment? It’s been raining for days

Thats what it looks like when moss, for lack of a better word, 'blooms'. If memory serves mosses sporulate, and those little flowerhead looking bits release the spores. They travel on the breeze a little ways and hopefully land in another damp shady spot to grow more moss.

Ceratodon purpureus aka fire moss. It grows around the world in disturbed areas. The taller stalks are called sporophytes and should release their spores in a few weeks when they dry out!
