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!
If you can’t explain it or it’s weird as hell, it’s always a fungus.
You should submit some of your photos to Wikipedia. They’re very clear compared to some of the handful in the article
