Can plants do photosynthesis from in-direct sun light from the moon?

Sun hits the moon, moon reflects light back to earth.

Can plants do photosynthesis from in-direct sun light from the moon?
Reflected light is essentially the same as light emitted directly from the source, so it is possible for plants to use it for photosynthesis. However the light reflected by the moon is not really sufficient for large plants to grow. Possibly fungus and other things could take advantage of the Moon's light though.
