What's that Blob....a Ophrydium versatile :)
"This green jelly blob is a eukaryotic single-celled ciliate, a member of the Protoctista kingdom (protos, very first; ktistos, to establish). It is not a plant, not a fungus, not an animal, but a single-celled organism that forms the green jelly blob you see here.
This particular protoctista is the Ophrydium versatile. The gelatinous colony formed by the ciliate is found floating freely or attached to aquatic plants in acidic bogs where light is available. We have yet to find a good answer as to why these colonies are formed. " naturenotes.outdoors.org/
