Not like any parasite I am familiar with, maybe plant material?
Looks like a pretty flower..LOL! I would go with plant material as well!

I am used to see it in stool sometimes, but do not know, from which plant it comes. Hope that I will finally find out here.
Pollen of some sort is my guess.
Acetabularia?

Definitely it's not a parasite, rather it looks like some plant trichome which somehow contaminated food. Compare it for example with Russian Silverberry trichomes (http://goo.gl/3yvkZ6).
