      Yeah, I was thinking that too. But, I have no idea where to start. So, I posted it on MO. Hopefully someone will recognize it. Posted 6 years ago

        I've been doing some research on this. Maybe it's a cyanobacteria? Or something like Cytidia salicina? Or not. The white stuff looks like spores. Maybe it's 2 different things growing together. Posted 6 years ago
