There is a low water bridge near my home that I sometimes collect off
of. I noticed that the field of soybeans it was next to had been
harvested and a bunch of the beans fell into the water. There was a
large, white mass covering them. It was unlike any mold I had ever seen
before though. I know this isn't much info. but in following with the
discussion below, I was wondering if anyone cared to take a guess at what
it might be.
