Synarthrophyton

Synarthrophyton is a genus of thalloid red algae comprising eight species. The monomerous, crustose thalli are composed of a single system of filaments which grow close to the underlying surface. Synarthrophyton reproduces by means of flask-shaped multiporate conceptacles; it produces tetraspores and dispores. Mucus plugs the opening of young conceptacles, which open as they mature.[2]

gollark: But they do talk about this cohort being better than the previous one somehow.
gollark: The computer science department at my school was established something like 3 years ago.
gollark: I figure that if I had a vast computing cluster to bend to my will, I could work out how to use it later.
gollark: There are raspberry pis sitting around in boxes idling when they *could* form a vast computing cluster to... I don't know, build random AUR packages?
gollark: I may be able to use this robotics thing as an excuse to harvest part of the school's endless ability to buy significant quantities of hardware nobody will ever actually use much.
