Lichen is one of the most interesting species of the flora, so no.
ETA: And besides, they are incredibly pretty.

Around here lichens, mosses and ferns sprout with abundanza from stone walls and outcroppings. [I even have a recipe for growing moss...] |

Not the one I had bookmarked, but here goes: How to Grow Moss for Your GardenAdding moss to a garden is a beautiful way to enhance its appearance, and with this easy and inexpensive recipe, you'll enjoy growing moss as well. Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You'll Need:
Step1
Put a handful of the moss you want to grow into a blender.
Step2
Add 1/2 tsp. sugar and one can of beer (the cheapest brand). You can substitute buttermilk for beer if
you want.
Step3
Blend just long enough to mix the ingredients and break down the moss.
Step4
Spread the soupy mixture with a spatula over the ground or rocks where you want the moss to grow.

on 10/19/2008 The commercial weed killers won't kill the moss, or you could just hand weed. I've got oak trees too and have found an excellent way to keep moss lush and spreading. The material in baby diapers holds and retains moisture and is completely non-toxic. Just buy some cheap diapers, tear them apart and spread the absorbant stuff over the ground. Gently water it in with either water or a buttermilk mixture until it melts onto the gound. I did an experiment on a small patch of moss in my yard and it works great. While the rest of the moss dries out between rains

I took a class with a girl one time who told everyone that she likes to eat lichen. Apparently it's sort of bitter and oatey.

Yes, lichens are a type of fungus that have a symbiotic relationship with algae (or other cyanobacteria); whereas, mosses are bryophytes (totally different
biological kingdom). That Reichen guy is definitely a type of lichen since he's always attached to another (often lower) life form.
