jjcanoe Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I've seensomething like that north of Kingston in a lake I fish in the late summer. The stuff I see is underwater and looks like a brain coral. No idea what it is either. jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammercarp Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 They are not amphibian eggs. I have seen those many times at our family cottage on the Trent river. It is a colony of Bryozoans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanggo Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The second photo looks like an ore to me. Seems what you found is called a Pectinatella Magnifica (Bryozoans). It has a fossil history of 500 million years and is found in Southern Ontario. It is also NOT a plant. Was good reading when I researched it. Too much info to do the readers digest version so I'll start those that are interested here. http://www.magma.ca/~syatabe/water_brains/water_brains.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Another very interesting plant I have seen in the swampy , boggy areas in the northern parts of Ontario is the pitcher plant which is both colourful & ingenious ,the way it fills half full of water to drown flys etc. , has hairs inside the slippery sides to prevent the fly from escaping , and as the fly decomposes , it feeds the plant the nutrients it needs. I don't think they grow this far south , maybe another form of "fly catcher" exists here) It's nice to find these things to make our fishing/hunting trips more interesting .
