Green Wood Cup

Chlorociboria aeruginascens

Summary 2

Trail: Garden Club, Pitcher Canyon
Found on dead decorated wood. Its mycelium stains the wood substrate turquoise.

Chlorociboria aeruginascens is a saprobic species of mushroom, commonly known as the green elfcup or the green wood cup because of its characteristic small, green, saucer-shaped fruit bodies. Although the actual fruit bodies are infrequently seen, the green staining of wood caused by the fungus is more prevalent.
