Hi Doug: I refer you to the February issue of Meteorite magazine (the real one):
Star Slough and Pwdre Sêr by David Andrew White and Ángel M. Nieves-Rivera Abstract Nostoc commune is a species of cyanobacterium. Colonies of nostoc can form large gelatinous masses, even growing in open-air habitats. Folk beliefs about nostoc are ancient and varied. A recurring theme in this folklore has been the attribution of globules of nostoc to one celestial origin or another. There was even a widespread belief that nostoc were the remains of fallen stars. This recurring belief was probably instigated by the weirdness, and sudden appearance, of these enigmatic jellies.
