I suspect the species seen here is a fungus although rather sadly I did not follow it up microscopically at the time. At the time of finding this I wasn't aware of such things as marine fungi.

Species found in middleshore pool at Spit Point, Par, near St. Austell, Cornwall. 27.06.10. Species was also found on Saw wrack, Fucus serratus.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. The difference between species is rarely obvious, many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
