Is a mustache (a kind of) a beard?

Hi dear friends of languages,

I have a funny problem. If a man has a mustache (Schnurrbart in German), can I also call it more generally beard (Bart)?

Thanks for your help Mowgli

Hi Mowgli. A moustache (note spelling) is the hair which grows between a man's top lip and his nose. A beard grows beneath his lower lip, covering all or part of his chin and cheeks.

Hello, Mowgli!

From the illustrations of Google, I'd say "Schnurrbart" definitely is a m(o)ustache.
