Have you ever seen “hair ice?” “Hair ice” or “bearded frost” is rare and occurs only in a small percentage of the world (it’s not Hoar Frost). Hair Ice grows specifically on the decaying wood of an Alder tree branch & is caused by a fungus living within decaying wood. The fungus “breathes” or releases its spores pushing the moisture out of the wood’s pores, causing it to immediately freeze. The small hole is as thin as a strand of hair thereby causing the hair-like ice to form.
