Moss in Lawns

I am having trouble with a type of moss with a small yellow flower. This has just appeared and is taking over my lawn. I'm frightened to use most weed killers as it is so wide spread. Looking for advise please.

    Moss killer.  Your grass will survive, do it in autumn.

    .......and smells nice too ; but if it IS moss , it certainly won't have a yellow flower .
    Sounds more like one of the clovers .

    Possibly Black Medick?

    The yellow flowers will not be coming from moss in any shape or form ; mosses are non flowering plants .

    Look a bit like yellow soral a very invasive weed. Lawn weed killer will knock it out, don’t let it go to seed as it will spread everywhere.

    It’s Black Medick, as suggested earlier
