Question
Greetings, This specimen turned up in an old water container recently. I suspect it's an alga of some sort, so it's probably not your expertise, but here goes: Habitat is fresh water, and an "organism" is about 2.5 cm in diameter. If you cannot hazard a guess, can you please direct me to a usable web-site or book to help me. Many thanks for your help in the past. --Carl
Answer
Carl, good afternoon. Yes, perhaps some kind of bryophyte or alga. My realm of expertise is tracheophytes (higher vascular plants). If it is an alga, you might try this key to find an answer: https://www.algalweb.net/search3.htm . Best of luck.
