java moss?

[chirp]

i wish i had a picture but i don't.

we had two banana plants, when all of a sudden one of the banana plants' tubers got smothered by what we thought was crazy algae. But it's contained itself to just the tubers and hasn't spread. now we saw pictures of java moss and that's what it looks like.

i guess we could have picked a piece with another plant at some point.

is there an algae that looks like java moss? or could this really be it?

Could be some sorta of claudo algae... do a search for "algae types" and some good algae ID sites should come up.

with out pics its hard to tell. have you tried to remove it?

i don't think it's claudo algae...it really does look exactly like java moss...it's really dark though. i tried removing it and it grew back. not overnight, but it definitely grew back and now we can't see the tubers at all.

Sounds like a algae to me
