I thought that maybe you guys could tell me if you have seen something like this before, I have not. While hiking last Saturday I ran across some odd ice formations. The ice was on alder tree parts that looked like the bark split and the ice was extruding out of the inner wood itself. I thought that the fine webbing look was kind of unusual. I am posting normal pics followed by close ups of the same ice. I could touch the ice and it would just melt away and there was nothing that the ice was bonded to except the main piece of wood that it was coming out of. I found this strange but I thought that it was really cool nature art. Is this normal where some of you guys are and is there a name for this?

Woodman,
Very strange.  What was the air temp?

Woodman,
I dug a little.  This is often called hair ice or silk frost.  Other pictures I found were from Germany, our peninsula or coastal BC.  Thanks, very interesting.

I believe it was just above freezing, but in a shade area. If I had looked at my Rino I would have known.

Could it have possibly been a type of fungus?
