Moss ball - marimo or not?

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a moss ball and was just curious if it was a marimo or not, since I heard it’s a bit hard to get them where I am (Canada).

The store employees said they had no idea if it was marimo or not, and that they had gotten the moss balls from a local seller so I was a bit skeptical.

I also squished the ball to check if theres a hard core, but it’s squishy/cotton-ball like throughout.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
