I was surprised by how much lichen is piled onto these shrubs. Thank you, Andy.

I think this lichen is called "Oak Moss".........apparently it's used in the making of cosmetics, particularly perfumes.

I didn't know that! I see in Wikipedia that it's an ingredient in the chypre and fougère classes of fragrance, and I have seen oakmoss named as a scent in men's colognes. Another interesting tidbit:

"Oakmoss should be avoided by people with known skin sensitization issues.[1] Its use in perfumes is now highly restricted by International Fragrance Association regulations, and many scents have been reformulated in recent years with other chemicals substituted for oakmoss.[2]"
