Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: An unusual twig on a woodland floor It would appear that this is a fungus growing out of this twig in the leaf litter in woodland at High Enoch, but it is in fact ice crystals caused by freezing water being extruded out through small cracks in the wood. This, together with polysaccharide material, produces the white strand structure. My thanks to fellow geographer M J Richardson and his mycologist friend R Watling for the identification.
This phenomenon is known as "frost flowers" or "feather frost" - see the following link sent to me by Sylvia Duckworth - http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/frost/frost.htm |
