While exploring in my local woodland this morning I discovered something I have never seen here before: Hair Ice fungus.
It's really delicate and beautiful, and quite rare as it requires very specific conditions in which to form.

Hair Ice fungus growing on the trunk of what I believe is a dying birch sapling. The fungus creates fine, pure white strands of ice formed into a furry-looking mass.
