algae: tolypothrix
first culture arrived Apr. 17, 2018.
added "soil water" medium; the algae seems resistant to beetles/germs/etc.
filaments are a bit visible (appearing more fuzzy than fischerella); colonies forms much smaller balls (appearing as tiny pellets, and not "clouds" of cotton candy)
they create "false" branches, and the branches are tapered at the ends.
