>Is oak moss the moss I find on the side of my live oak?

Maybe. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Oak
Moss typically one of two tree lichens, uhm, Evernia prunastri and
Pseudevernia furfuracea? That sounds right to me, but my web
access is down right now and I can't double check my information.
IIRC, the first of the two is the one that's been used in perfumery
and medicine at least since the 1500s, but I could be wrong.
