I have been growing cuttings of Thai Basil because the mother basil plant started dying, and this morning I noticed that in the cup I was growing the cuttings in, a bunch of tiny balls of algae have started growing.
I've never seen algae grow like this other than marimo moss balls, but I can't imagine any way that marimo would have gotten into this cup. Very mysterious.
One thing I do miss about twitter is that if I posted something like this, someone would tag an algaeologist, who would show up in the replies and tell me exactly what the balls are
@ArtBear I'm not suggesting that they are over there giving out free knowledge still. I'm saying I miss having that kind of interaction. It was special and now it's gone
