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.

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

That is really surprising because it didn't feel that cold. It's actually +1C at the moment so did not even consider ice!

You should submit some of your photos to Wikipedia. They're very clear compared to some of the handful in the article
