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!

      Snow/Ice combined with air is surprisingly resistant to melting. It’s always just the outer most layer that’s melting and the finer the layers the longer it takes to melt
