Thanks Machi. I was pretty excited when Brian38 identified this for me - it had been nagging at me for months!

I agree with Brian. Nostoc for sure.

Excellent spotting dearhumi! It definitely looks like Nostoc and is probably Nostoc commune. I love this image! It just proves that this organism can thrive in the most unusual places as long as the requirements are met.
