Is parasite wood easy to carve? Any suggestions on what to do with these pieces?

I have very little experience but a lot of time and patience.

I’m seeking help understanding these growths I keep finding in NSW Australia

These look like wood rose parasitic growth on a tree however this is not found natively in New South Wales, but rather New Zealand. I have found three so far all in the same area/ same type of eucalyptus bushland.

Are these the same lichen at different stages?

Found on the same tree, possibly a willow. NSW Australia.

I think I found some reindeer moss lichen today!

Just learning to ID lichen, apparently this is edible?

My first Jarrarium didn’t work out too well, I was going to tip it and start again but then noticed these little guys.. does anyone know what they could be?
