It’s Mussel Monday! 🧠 Tasty as Penn Cove Mussels may be, their beards are not good eats! Mussels must be debearded before eating. But just what is a mussel beard?

❓❓❓

Mussel beards are also called byssal threads! Byssal threads are made of proteins and can be incredibly strong, allowing mussels to anchor to all kinds of surfaces 💪
