What Are These?

[Waterlogged]

I was out on the lake yesterday and I noticed these "sack" looking things hanging from limbs and logs that are becoming exposed from the lake being pulled down. They king of look like a white brain but are really "solid". Any idea of what they are?

I tried to post a picture but it would only let me post it really small.

Did it look like this?

I see the stuff pretty often on tree limbs and such. I believe it's supposed to be a sign of a healthy body of water it's called phylactolaemata bryozoan. No idea how to pronounce it, but that's what it's called

Bluebasser86, can you eat it?

Strange looking stuff. The awesome beauty of nature.

sounds like a species of bryozoans they are a colonial animal that are filter feeders.

What color senko should I throw at it?

Those are in a couple of the ponds that I fish.

My honey hole has them, but haven't seen any this year? Weird things they are...They look soft and gross even though there hard as a rock.

Weird looking, but there are many strange creatures lurking beneath the surface.
