Throw it in a bin with no media required. Seal it with some Saran Wrap and mist for humidity. I drilled holes in the sides of my bins for air flow and stuck the moss under lights.

It came in a big zip lock bag should I add a little distilled water in it and put it somewhere cool ?

I've still got mine and alive. In a little sip lock bag in my wash house next to window in shade so still getting a little light. I've been opening mine every 2 days to let some fresh air in, and giving a little spray of rainwater for humidity. And it's staying alive well, and I've had it for over a week now

I would sow it like erik suggested. Let it multiple itself, before long you'll have all you could use plus some.

I've just sowed most of rest of mine into a tray om peat moss. The same stuff I've had since done my first tub, and still got a little left in the bag, and it's still alive and growing in bag lots of heads. Going to leave that stuff in the bag as an experiment and see if it outgrows the bag lol.
