I went to Kings Beach on a sunny afternoon. I found a mysterious object that washed ashore right by my side. First, I thought it was a rock. I threw it into the water to see if it floats. It floated and I knew that only lava rocks float. Then I found out that it was a piece of wood.
I played for a little time and then went back to the wood. I noticed that its color turned from reddish to white. I started pouring different things on the wood. Hand sanitizer slightly turned the wood to red even though it still looked different.
Changed wood
So what is that white thing? Is it ash? First I thought it was ash. But I poured water on it and nothing happened. So it is not ash. It could be some chemical reaction caused due to air. What do you think? Please post a comment.
It must be some kind of fungus.

DeleteIt could be ash from last season's forest fire.
ReplyDeleteIt shows in the blog "Is it ash? First I thought it was ash. But I poured water on it and nothing happened. So it is not ash."
DeleteIt could be salt from the ocean water 💦
ReplyDeleteIt was found on the shore of a lake. Not an ocean
DeleteFrom your descriptions I opine that it is piece of wood floating in lake water. This is covered by sand and clays.

Then, the sand and clay should have got washed off when I poured water on the wood.
