| Pollen (Spermatophytes) |

|
Pinus (pine) pollen. By far the most frequently encountered pollen in lakewater (and lake sediment core samples), especially in basins within ~500 km of pine forests, due to enormous production and wind dispersal. Floats on lake surface as a yellow "cloud" resembling Microcystis blooms in June (N. hemisphere). "Mickey Mouse ears" are air bladders.

Picea (spruce) pollen. Air bladders are more compressed against the pollen base than in Pinus.
