It's like a type of floating bog island that grows from piled up downed trees and other biomass and then breaks off from the main land.
Happens on lakes in Wisconsin. See [0] for a very interesting example of what happens when one gets real big and floats away.

- lifestyleguru 13d agoHow this biomass expands?! I don't think this happens anywhere else on earth. Usually tress downed into the water simply become bare trunks in the water.
- chocrates 13d agoThe article states that it grows on driftwood so it is buoyant and mentions it is not that rare (not explicitly but it talks about it happening before)
