The non-native Dictyota cyanoloma (or “blue fringe weed,” named after its iridescent blue margins) is our seaweed of the week #PhycologyFriday
Pyropia perforata, or nori (also known as “purple laver”) is our seaweed of the week! #PhycologyFriday
“Sea belly,” or Neogastroclonium subarticulatum (named after its swollen tips), is our seaweed of the week #PhycologyFriday
Pepper dulse, or Osmundea spectabilis (also called “truffle of the sea” for its distinct flavor) is our seaweed of the week #PhycologyFriday
Undaria pinnatifida (“wakame”) is our seaweed of the week! Non-native to California, but you might see it here growing on our docks… and in your seaweed salad or miso soup #PhycologyFriday
Colpomenia sinuosa, commonly known as oyster thief (or sometimes “elephant’s snot”!), is our seaweed of the week #PhycologyFriday
Callophyllis flabellulata, the “red sea fan” (no relation to the soft coral; just resembles one) is our seaweed of the week! #PhycologyFriday
Neoagarum fimbriatum— or “colander kelp,” named after its many holes, is our seaweed of the week! #PhycologyFriday
