What's that Wednesday is back
After not posting "What's that Wednesday" photos in a long time, I'm back with a real stumper. I have no idea what this mass is and would love to hear from readers. It's very solid to the touch. There were two masses, one a bit larger than the other, stuck to the bottom of a nearby pond next to a log near shore. Although they're gelatinous, they are very heavy and not loose like salamander egg masses. It's quite firm and solid.

Looks like a bryozoan colony. It's a grouping of small organisms, sort of like a calcium free coral.
ReplyDeleteA gold star for Steve! Thanks for the quick answer. What a fascinating phenomena. Got to look that one up.
