Hair ice on a stick
Wobbly icicles on a rock
Hair like ice growing up from a bit of wood.
Hair ice on a branch. River in background.
Loads of hair ice around on a walk today. Never seen it before. Apparently temperature has to be just right and a specific type of fungus has to be in the wood. #winter #hairice

Delicate feathery ice crystals hanging from a log, glistening white against a soft green background.
Vaun Fiedler in Bonney Lake, Washington, captured this photo of hair ice! It's formed with freezing temperatures and high humidity. Thank you, Vaun! #hairice

Goedemorgen vanaf de Veluwe
Gister vond ik een beeldschone ijsbaard
Zo groot zie je ze niet heel vaak
Vandaag ga ik ze zeker niet vinden 😉
Wens iedereen een mooie dag toe

Hair Ice formation on a fallen tree branch near Merriman Falls in the Olympic National Forest. Hair Ice is peculiar to the Pacific NW. Vertical color photograph: hair-like strands of ice spring out and curl away from a fallen branch, surrounded by the green of lichens and moss on the forest floor.
Hair Ice
This is called "hair ice" and it's peculiar to the Pacific NW. Found this piece near Merriman Falls in the Olympic National Forest on a cold morning.

Close up shot of a small tree branch/twig covered in hair ice, which looks like white hair coming out of the wood itself, it's actually very delicate tendrils of ice formed from the moisture in the wood being drawn out.

Nature is showing off again, very cool hair ice from a walk yesterday.

Tiny white tendrils of ice grow from a stick lying on the ground with brown leaves and one green plant. The ice looks like feathers.

A close up of the ice showing its delicate structure.
From today’s chilly hike: #hairice! #exidiopsiseffusa was described a little over 15 years ago as the organism behind this beautiful phenomenon. Hair ice is found in a limited range (45-55 degrees N) around 0 degrees C in humid conditions. #kawkawalake #hopebc

Wie Wolle aussehendes Eis auf Totholz im Wald
Beeindruckener Fund heute im Wald:
Haareis, manchmal auch Eiswolle oder Eishaar genannt, besteht aus feinen Eisnadeln, d. sich bei geeigneten Bedingungen auf morschem und feuchtem Totholz bilden können (Wikipedia).

Lots of Magical Hair Ice ❄️ this morning
A really fabulous phenomenon to see on a fresh frosty morning when all the conditions are perfectly aligned 🐾 👣
… fit for any Ice Queen 🫅

Rare hair ice phenomenon in bright white color looking like feathers in the sunlight with dark black shadows.
Close-up of hair ice forming on a piece of wood. Thin, white, silky strands of ice are clustered together, resembling fine hair or cotton candy. The background is blurred, highlighting the delicate texture of the ice.

Have you seen any hair ice? 🍭❄️
These silky ice strands form on rotting wood when temperatures dip below 0°C. A certain fungus triggers a process that changes how the water freezes, making it form into fine, hair-like strands instead of solid ice.

Hair ice formed dead wood

Another angle of hair ice formed on wood
A first for me, believe it's called hairy ice or hair ice, caused by ice forming on dead wood and a certain fungus. Very delicate and pretty in amongst the depths of the woodland #Llandeilo

Winter walk this pm at Selm Muir Wood, W Lothian, looking for #HairIce. Mission accomplished! @edinburghnats.bsky.social. Only one flowering plant for #NewYearPlantHunt @bsbibotany.bsky.social @bsbiscotland.bsky.social
A dead branch against a background of dead leaves. The branch has white ice formed along it that looks like hair or candy floss.
Another first for me aka another dog walk bonus. Hair Ice in the local woods today. Apparently a fungus, Exidiopsis Effusa causes it on rotting broadleaved wood in certain conditions.

A fabulous Hair Ice day ❄️
Fit for an Ice Queen ❄️ 👑 ❄️
The most amazing phenomenon when all the conditions are just perfect! 😍

Exidiopsis effusa or Hair Ice! It's finally cold enough for this magical occurrence. While many conditions need to be just right for this fungus to do this, the season for resisting fascism is every season!
P.S. Don't be a Nazi!

Here are some additional images. Based on these, do you think it is likely hair ice or ice flowers? #hairice #iceflowers #phenomenon
Hair ice, also known as ice wool or frost beard, is a type of ice that forms on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair. It is somewhat uncommon, and has been reported mostly at latitudes between 45 and 55 °N in broadleaf forests.The meteorologist (and discoverer of continental drift) Alfred Wegener described hair ice on wet dead wood in 1918, assuming some specific fungi as the catalyst, a theory mostly confirmed by Gerhart Wagner and Christian Mätzler in 2005. In 2015, the fungus Exidiopsis effusa was identified as key to the formation of hair ice.
When temperatures drop just below zero C, hair ice might form. More in the alt text and Wikipedia. #HairIce #ijshaar #winter
Hair ice! Maybe a stretch for #fungifriends but apparently a fungus is involved in its formation. Will post an article on it in comments
#hairice #naturephotography
Pure white strands that look like hair "grow" in locks from a stick lying on a bed of moss
Good morning!
How are you holding up?
What are you up to today?
We finally had the conditions for good frost flowers (hair ice) Thursday night/Friday morning.

For #TextureTuesday one of my favorite winter phenomenon: hair ice! When environmental conditions are just right, and the #fungi Exidiopsis effusa is present, #HairIce will form. Silver Falls State Park is a common place I see this natural wonder. #neature
