Lichen and moss is in most forests and jungles.  It's often overlooked and easy to model and add an extra layer of detail to a scene.  This video covers techniques which should work in any scale.

if you are working in N or HO then paint is normally enough to suggest lichen or moss but when you get to the larger scales then you can bring out the other techniques.

Materials

Vallejo paint - something like Golden Olive (70.857) or Olive Green (70.967)
Pastels - I used a sludgy green one out of my stock but any chalky pastel will do
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) - I use 99% from Amazon
Woodland Scenics Blended Fine Turf - Burnt Grass (T44 or T1344 deepening on size)
Dilute PVA or White Glue - I use about 1/3 glue to 2/3 water
