The alga Radiofilum
This is a new sighting for me by description Radiofilum conjunctivum. Is this a common alga elsewhere?
Common? Depends where you are.
This species is "Very common in a large number of lakes and swamps [Mich., Wis.], especially in in soft waters and acid haitats, hence often associated with desmids."
"These filament are inclosed in a broad gelatinous sheath through which fibrillar concretions radiate to the periphery."
Unfortunately neither of these is clearly visible in your images.

” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
