Nostoc spp.
Some of the common names for this cyanobacteria arise from it's propensity to appear overnight.
Utility Easement-near wetlands
I see no reason that it could not, but on a beach the difficulty of distinguishing from a true terrestrial species and one that washed ashore is something to be considered.
Hmmm, I think I've seen this too. Do you think Nostoc spp. can be spotted on beaches?
