Should I use a Grass mat and then put different types of growth (lichen,moss) or should I get rid of the Homasote? [/quote] Not sure why you're gluing grass to homasote. The Homasote goes ONLY under the track as roadbed; it should only be about 2" wide and it sits (well, it's glued) on top of the rest of the layout base, be it foam or plywood, which is where the grass goes. Don't use a grass mat. They look silly. Like a golf course. There are lots of article on how to do this--including on this site--but, basically, you paint the surface with an earth-colored latex paint, then sprinkle the ground foam on it. Don't pile it on our you'll end up with another golf course. Seeing some brown is good. The paint holds the foam in place. Once the paint is dry, vacuum up the excess foam, and you're done.
