I gathered up a ton of lichen on a trip to Maine a few years ago. I got a gallon of glycerine through a medical supply pharmacy back home here in Connecticut (they supply nursing homes with stuff- also a good source for plaster gauze cloth...) and boiled the lichen. It has stayed soft for the last 5 years. I sprayed it with some cheap green spray paint (Krylon in a can) and then did the matte medium-ground foam-matte medium thing. I've been really happy with the results for covering large areas of background on my N scale layout.
