Festive fungus delights Wildlife Trust staff

A very rare white fungus, which looks like Father Christmas's beard, has been found in North Devon.

It's been spotted on the trunk of a tree near the village of Thornbury.

The Devon Wildlife Trust says it's extremely rare in the UK, and this is only the second time it has been seen in Devon.

It's generally known as hedgehog fungus, but staff at the Trust are calling it  Santa's Beard.
