Gloiopeltis furcata
''Gloiopeltis furcata,'' commonly known as glueweed, jelly moss and fukuro-funori (Japan), is a marine alga that is widely distributed in the North Pacific Ocean, along the shorelines of China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and the Pacific shores of Russia; and from the Aleutian Islands south to Baja California. ''G. furcata'' has long been utilized as a food source in Asia, where it is also used as a sizing material in silk and other textiles. ''G. furcata'' is also a raw material for textile binders. Studies show that extracts of ''G. furcata'' inhibit the growth of several human cancer cell lines, and can significantly lower blood glucose levels. 〔
''G. furcatas thallus is reddish brown to golden yellow, up to 5 cm (2 in) tall. The plant appears black when dry. The cylindrical branches are smooth. The basal crust is perennial, and produces a new crop of branches every year. 〔(Gloiopeltis furcata ) at Seaweeds of Alaska〕
''Gloiopeltis furcata'' inhabits the mid to high intertidal zone of rocky coasts where it grows abundantly, on the tops and sides of rocks and rocky ledges. ''G. furcata'' is very similar to ''Gloiopeltis tenax'' and ''Gloiopeltis complanata.'' The three species are grown, harvested, and often used interchangeably. ''G. furcata'' is commercially harvested in China and Japan. 〔(Gloiopeltis furcata ) at Seaweed Industry Association〕
