I dont remember whats its called but Ive read that develops when a Lake has clean water. Its feels like jelly right? Looks like a Jelly ball in the water or stuck on branches
Ewww, hope this doesn't end up in the weird foods you've eaten thread..
Freshwater Bryozoans ...they are common in this time of year and may get bigger up to the size of beach ball. We got these calls from concerned people quite regularly. They are harmless and not poisonous.
