The mossiest area of our lawn has been colonised by cyclamen coum which

Boggle. Normally, moss thrives in boggy conditions and C. coum
in drought conditions. Mine has formed a carpet in a bed under
the eaves, which rarely gets any rain.

It can't take walking on, but I agree that it's a first class
ground cover when it forms one.
