Nice picture!
The centre lettuce like plant with black capsules is Fossobronia, a common liverwort
The star shaped moss on the bottom right with a pendulous capsule is a moss species of Bryum.
You can guess the fern's name.
best regards

Apart those 2 I thought that another specimen is that with large flat leaves (a liverwort) at the centre right, and another small moss lurking down at the bottom centre below the Fossobronia.
Thanks for the species names.
The fern (Anogramma leptophylla) is infrequent and often locally frequent when found.
