These photos are of the same lichens on the Cryptandra taken on the 9/10/2018. Hope they help with ID. Are there 2 species?

The lichen in closer view is in the family Parmeliaceae. The photo with more branches showing has mainly Parmeliaceae and looks like a couple of wispy bits of Usnea. I'm not enough of a lichen expert to go beyond that family and that genus.
