Chlorociboria aeruginascens is a saprobic species of mushroom, commonly known as the blue stain,[1] green elfcup[2] or the green wood cup[3] 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.
