Moss help!

I recently bought some live sphagnum from a reptile convention in town that looks exactly like any ole sphagnum you'd see online or in this forum but I was hoping for a bit more and ended up finding a local store that sells small bags of it for cheap, I got it home and plopped the bag into my moss tray but realize it looks completely different, I'm not even convinced it's sphagnum at all, do any of you have any input if this is actually sphagnum of some sort of sphag that I'm not aware of? Thanks.

I've seen that growing abundantly on the forest floor in Haida Gwaii. Can't recall the name and no longer have the vegetation reference book (Plants of the Pacific Coast ... or something similar). Darn!
