  Filamentous Algae
Filamentous algae are single algae cells that form long visible chains, threads, or filaments.
Filamentous algae starts growing along the bottom in shallow water or attached to structures in the water (like rocks or other aquatic plants).
Often filamentous algae floats to the surface forming large mats, which are commonly referred to as "Pond scums." There are many species of filamentous algae and often more than one species will be present at the same time in the pond.

Of importance to DOE, the filamentous fungi are the primary organisms involved in cellulose and lignin degradation in nature, though the process is not adequately understood.
From history and current research it is clear that the filamentous fungi are a potential source of new organisms, new products and new processes for solving biomass conversion problems, yet filamentous fungi have not been the object of the kind of intensive study that is ongoing for bacteria and yeast.
PNNL is in the process of compiling and characterizing a collection of filamentous fungi fully representing the entire fungal kingdom and enriched in understudied groups of fungi, thus improving the likelihood of discovering new sources of value-added products or traits useful in creating organisms for future application in bioprocesses.

Filamentous Algae is what most pond and lake owners refer to as ponds scum, it is green to yellow green in color and appears to have the consistancy of cotton candy.
The ideal time to treat filamentous algae is when it is first forming around the edges, at this time it is not heavy enough to cause any oxygen depletion problems.
When you are treating filamentous aglae you want to get a complete kill, if you do not this form of algae can reproduce so fast that you may have your pond covered again in a couple of days.
