Response to riddle solved:THAT is the white "depris" under my nib!!:

. . .your enterprising and investigative spirit most sincerely.

At a guess it appears to be perhaps Saccharomyces ?

This is a yeast (which would account for the whitish coloration.)

Here's a micrograph from the University of Edinburgh:



Saccharomyces on the left; cryptococcus on the right.

What do you think, close? Yeast spores are fairly ubiquitous environmentally so it's a good guess at least.
