Maybe blue-green algae which have colonised the shed skin or dead remains of something.

I put on some blue-green algae

That's Microcystis wesenbergii, with a typical dense mucus layer. Blue-green, indeed.

Best wishes, René.

It looks like a dog.

maybe dog hehe

These cyanobacteria form blooms greenish water was full of them, but it's probably not Microcystis wesenbergii. Kave other balls in the middle, somewhat related to the yeast.

Below is a photo Microcystis

Hi,

I am with Frez and René on this - it looks like a dog and it is Microcystis wesenbergii. The lobed colony and the wrinkled surface are important features for the diagnosis.

See here for drawings:

Sure you're right, my knowledge is poor, and the English poor. In Polish literature is little thematic
