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.
Exidiopsis effusa is the fungus involved, but the feathery white hairs are ice. The fungus facilitates the production. Here’s the article.
