Vigorous growth in Spring

Hard to spot but once you see what your looking for it is ”everywhere”

The ‘trick’ is to look for the air bubbles

Phylospadix does not have many epiphytes (other algae growing on it) at this time of year. So when you see some during low tide of the day and see lots of bubbles you probably got Kornmannia on it

See ‘em??

Of course the tidal pool is getting good light and the Kormannia is ‘happy’ turning sunshine into energy--- all those bubbles draw ones attention

Here its an obscure spring epiphyte on Fucus

 But much larger by 18th

Here is a page showing both on Halosaccion as left and more on Fucus; it will take DNA work to see if this is a new species or similar o one on phyllospadix
