Lichens & Mosses

Description:

2 species of "lower plants" coexisting with each other. The plants on the left hand side is a lichen and on the right is a patch of mosses. 3rd photo with flashlight to show their reflectiveness.

Habitat:

On a huge rock in Tengkorak Hill, an archeological sight in Semporna, Sabah.

Notes:

My first spotting uploaded from Semporna. I categorized this as "plants", if I am wrong, please do inform me. Lichens contain fungus too so is it also under "fungi" ? >>>Map accuracy : 100m radius.

I think they are mosses, not lichens. In any case, you need macro detail
in order to identify them, being either mosses or lichens.
