I got help here on Lemmy to identify what this is. It turns out it’s ice, that forms on dead wood but not the bark and is initiated by a fungus that lives there. Very interrsring reading

Very cool. Did you only see this on this one branch or was there more around it?
There were loads that day but had never seen them before. Apparently they need quite specific conditions to grow. I took some more pictures

So cool. I would love to see macro photos of the “roots” of the ice.
