Cribraria cancellataObserver
micromyxomanDescription
Sporangia stalked, most less than 2 mm tall, nodding, gregarious. Spores about 5 microns in diameter, smooth (at 400X), colourless. Found on well decayed wood in swampy area of small city woodlot. Common but not easily seen because of its small size. The sporangium is covered with delicate membrane supported by larger ribs and delicate cross filaments. As the membrane wears away, the spores can be gradually or rapidly released by wind, vibration or water as they fall through the netlike structure.

mactadpoleDescription
This was observed falling from the canopy in a slow circular motion (about a 1 meter diameter circle). The two halves in the picture here connected together until it landed. We were told by a Waorani that it was a parasite, but don't think so.

dlbowlsDescription
This is the second time in the last few days that I found this under a piece of dead wood. Last time, I concluded that it was a flower. Now, I am not sure what it is.

Star Jelly (Nostoc commune)Observer
kevinwallaceDescription
Weird dark green jelly structure (seaweed like) growing in the middle of the driveway at 3635 Ottawa Regional Road#174.
After a day without rain, they shrank down to nothing. Look like salamander eggs or wet kelp on the dry driveway.
Seen in same location for the past 2 years. Trefoil and chicory growing near by. Thought lichen because it is always in the same location and increases in size during wet weather.
