A mussel's byssal threads are produced from within the shell by a byssal gland. They are small proteinaceous "ropes" extending from the muscular foot. Byssal threads are also amazing for the ability to adhere to substrate surfaces underwater.
The black or blue bivalve you are referring to is likely a mussel, which attaches itself to rocks in the intertidal zone using byssal threads. Mussels are filter feeders that can be found in coastal areas around the world.

Capillitial threads are slender, thread-like structures found in some slime molds, assisting in spore dispersal. A columella is a central column-like structure found in certain fungi, such as mushrooms, supporting the spore-bearing layer. Both serve to aid in spore dispersal but differ in structure and function.
This description sounds like a mussel. Mussels are bivalve mollusks that often have dark-colored shells in shades of black or blue. They are commonly found attached to rocks in the intertidal zone, where they feed by filtering plankton and other small particles from the water.
A paper mussel, also known as a paper piddock, is a type of bivalve mollusk with elongated, thin shells that resemble sheets of paper. The shells are often white or pale in color and have a delicate, papery texture. Paper mussels are commonly found burrowing into soft sediments along shorelines.
The black or blue bivalve you are referring to is likely a mussel, which attaches itself to rocks in the intertidal zone using byssal threads. Mussels are filter feeders that can be found in coastal areas around the world.
A bearded mussel is a mussel found off the coasts of Britain, Latin name Modiolus barbatus, also known as the horse mussel or the horse-bearded mussel.
The correct spelling is "mussel." A mussel is a type of bivalve mollusk found in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
This species was native to southern Russia
Microtubules are hollow fibre threads in plant cells which from the cell structure. They are only found in plant cells furthermore they help in the production of chlorophyll and are vital to the survival of a plant.

The use of mussel shells in decorations started early in human history and evidence of this use is found in almost every culture. Ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamian people used shells in decorations.
Teflon tape, which is wrapped around the threads, or plumber's putty, which is applied to the threads should be quite effecive at stopping the leak. These can be found at any hardward store, and are inexpensive.
No. The zebra mussel is a small shellfish named for the striped pattern of its shell. It is typically found attached to objects, surfaces, or other mussels by threads extending from underneath the shells. Zebra mussels are filter feeders. They are capable of filtering about one liter of water per day while feeding primarily on algae. Zebra mussels attach to any stable substrate in the water column or benthos: rock, macrophytes, artificial surfaces (cement, steel, rope, etc.), crayfish, clams, and each other, forming dense colonies called druses. They are similar to clams that are familiar such as in clam chowder.
The "brown stuff" you are talking about is more like a dark green look but, it is plankton and is perfectly fine to eat.
I think it is called Sinew.
