I circled them in yellow. They appear to be hard.

They look like the moss's flowers?

Sphagnum moss spore capsules. They'll grow up spherical, then shrink down to cylindrical before they explode and eject spores up to 10 cm high to be dispersed by the wind.

Any danger to letting them do that inside a grow tent?
