Green algae ID

#1 Post by Free2Fish » Tue Dec 19, 2023 7:31 pm

Does anyone have an idea what type of green algae this is, I can’t seem to find anything like it in the keys I’ve checked out. It came from a moss patch on a tree and there were many of these throughout the moss.

Thanks so much NachoBen! So I guess these are Gemmae and you’ve just opened up a new alleyway I can get lost in. 😁
