Polysiphonia lanosa is a captivating red algae species found in intertidal zones and shallow rocky areas along the North Atlantic coasts. With its branching structure and vibrant colour, it adds beauty to marine environments. This algae provides habitat for marine organisms and helps stabilise coastlines. Once dried, it produces a umami truffle aroma.
