Both are cladonia, the right side one cladonia rangiformis. The left one with red bits is a different one, they call it red soldiers, Cladonia cristatella

Thanks Mark. It does look like two species now that you say so.

Hi Jared. The red bits might belong to the foliose lichen on the left? You could check cladonia. The antlers one on the right might be usnea.
