Something of a Maze
Shrubberies.
Whilst waiting for the mud to become 100% dry and hard, I set to the task of coming up with some shrubs and bushes.
My initial thought was that I would use rubberised horsehair as the base structure. I have used it before to make trees and hedges, and it seemed to work okay.
I started cutting out bits and realised that it was too uniform and didn’t quite capture the look I was going for.
I had some plumber’s hemp left over from when I made the trees for our little Fallout Campaign, and I figured I could use that to knock together some simple, inexpensive shrubs.
I would couple that with some leftover orangish lichen from when I pimped my Jungle Trees for a recent Congo game.
When I initially bought the Lichen I had envisaged using the orangey bits along with some of the redder clump foliages I have for my Mars setting in our Victorian Science Fiction games
I chopped the plumber's hemp up into small sections approximately one to one and a half inches in length. Pretty much any natural string would do for this. 
I pulled the lichen apart into small pieces and put it in a small bowl. I will do this a bit at a time so that I don't end up pulling too much of it into pieces in one go.
I then used a liquid superglue to glue one end of the string together. It needs to be the thin stuff, not the gel. I also used an activator to set the glue because I am impatient.
Once the glue was set, I splayed apart the other end of the small piece of string. 
I then used brown spray paint to colour the string before dipping the frayed end into some Mod Podge and then into the small torn apart pieces of Lichen and then set it aside to dry. One dry I just used scissors to trim the glued and down a little. This creates a nice flat surface for gluing the shrub down. Alternatively, if mounting the shrub on foam terrain you could just make a hole in the terrain and push the base of the shrub into the hole.
Before glueing all the shrubs into place, I may experiment with adding some flocks to them to add an extra layer of texture and colour and will most likely seal them with a fine spray of matt Mod Podge to give them a bit more rigidity and to make sure the bushy part is nice and secure, after all gamers are not the most gentle of beast out there and this has to survive contact with the enemy.
