Freshwater. I’ve seen these things all over, idk what they are!
Sampled on 01/24/2022 with turkey baster from scum at base of dam.
The organism would expand and contract in either direction, but never separated.
Never noticed these in the wild before!
Unsure what this is.
A very large desmid? Closterium kuetzingii replicating?
