In some forests on humid winter nights, peculiar ice crystals form on rotting wood. The ice looks like bursts of hairy cloud, and sometimes a bit like candy floss. It is neither. These hair-like wisps appear at night and melt when the sun comes up. Scientists have now discovered exactly what gives “hair ice” its strange shape. It’s caused by a fungus called Exidiopsis effusa.
I had no idea what that could be watching at the thumbnail. So interesting!
I am blown away at the thing I am learning.
