[DIYbio] Moss shower mats, maybe also door/welcome mats?

I just thought about this when I saw my door mat to my house's back
door half-covered in moss... I did a bit of searching and came up with
this:
http://thegreenbeagle.com/diy-moss-bath-matt/11563

basically using two layers of a closed-cell polyethylene foam called
plastazote (I found it on Amazon.com) that total to about 2 inches
thick. The top layer has patterns cut out and is then glued to the
bottom layer with hot-glue.

This seems like such a perfect idea... I wonder if there are 'cleaner'
mosses than others (are there plant mechanisms for phagocytosis of
e.g. dead foot cells?)... or maybe some that are more resilient to
physical stress (like people wiping their muddy boots).

Maybe the moss wouldn't be able to phagocytose the dead foot skin
cells that slough off when you get out of the bath/shower and step
onto it, but would they increase the risk of foot infection with
fungus/bacteria?

I'd like to think infectious organisms would somehow be displaced by
any plant-associated organisms, assuming the infectious (to skin)
organisms aren't happy living on plants.
