I went for a walk in the woods and found multiple fallen branches with this fairly long growth on them.
I assume that it is a fungus of some sort but does anyone have more info on what kind it is?
I found so many that I eventually stopped taking pictures of it. But I haven’t seen this before so I was surprised, as I spend quite a lot of time in the woods.
That is really surprising because it didn’t feel that cold. It’s actually +1C at the moment so did not even consider ice!
It says in the article it can persist for days.
Yes! I am not doubting it at all. I am just surprised at it being ice (even after reading the Wikipedia link)
Though apparently only forms because of a fungus!

I always find these interesting that we still haven’t figure out fungi fully.
Wer haven’t figured out anything fully
You should submit some of your photos to Wikipedia. They’re very clear compared to some of the handful in the article
Probably because the mass is very low.
