Just saw an article on a scientific study of why frost hair forms.   The article shows a fungus factor in frost hair that grows on wood, such as I found, shown in pics earlier in this thread.   Wikipedia has an interesting bit on how the frost flower petals form that Pat's photos show.  Frost flowers are more a capillary and extruding action, similar results but quite different from the fungus process on rotting wood.  FWIW
