I agree with Khuligirl. My guess it is a terrestrial moss that won't show up until it gets wet. At any rate, if you wanted to use those rocks you would need to either boil them (don't do it--they might explode) or soak them in a mild bleach solution for 15 minutes, then soak again in water with lots of dechlorinator and let dry out for several days. There is still the chance of oil-based insecticide or herbicide chemical residue. Not sure if it is worth it.
