Field Notes

Description:

I believe it had rained within that week so I don't necessarily know if it mainly lives in fresh water or if it was there before the rain. It looks to be like some sort of mushroom or fungi. Brummerhop Park in Seabrook TX 77586. I can't remember the temperature but it is February in SE Texas.

Habitat:

Fresh shallow water to woodlands.

Notes:

On average its between 50 F-65 F Wooded habitat. Shallow water from recent rain. I added a photo of the environment from which it was found. First time in my life seeing these in this area.

Mysterious “Blobs” are Bryozoans
