A bit of #PhycologyFriday trivia. Prasiola meridionalis, a green-not-but-not-a-Green, that grows in the very high intertidal where gulls rest (and poop). I always look at the etymology of a name. "Prasios” is Greek for leek green. Perfect! #FridayHarborLabs #UW

Something for #PhycologyFriday. A #Bullkelp #Nereocystis holdfast, with negatively phototropic haptera. The tips are #meristoderms that grow away from light as you would expect if you were trying to attach to the bottom! They also make a great garnish in your kelp pickles. And they’re just lovely!

@kelporama.bsky.social Congrats to the 5 (!!) UW Friday Harbor Lab’s 2023 summer students in Marine Botanys presenting their class research projects at 2023 WSN SanDiego! This represents research projects done by over 60% of the class! Kudos to their TA for encouraging them.

Happy #PhycologyFriday. Just back from the east coast (#Massachusetts) and was (sadly) amazed at the out-of-control Codium. Windrows of Crepidula (slipper shells) And little eelgrass.

Happy #PhycologyFriday (the 13th). I’m always intrigued by the clear rim of what I think is a tetrasporic Chondracanthus exasperatus. A wonderful etymology = “an exasperating piece of grit in the corner of your eye” Much better than “Turkish towel”!. Same “rim” found on Mazzaella.

Happy #PhycologyFriday. A glorious wreath of tetraspores on #Griffithsia. A fitting tribute for Amelia Griffiths of Torquay.
