"Stowaway" taxa you've found

This sea star VERY far inland. I need help voting it wild!: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/130153102

That’s a nice gametophyte. Are you and Eddie going to barcode that thing?

Who’s Eddie?

Watkins. Usually a good first guess as a go-to fern gametophyte guy, although I can think of a few others (albeit more East Asian).

I sent a sample for sequencing (to someone who wasn’t Watkins) last July. Still haven’t heard back.

I’m not acquainted with Watkins.

It’s Australia. :)

Found another imported gametophyte yesterday. I’m too depressed to use my macro camera on it so here’s a low-effort phone pic.
