Chlorociboria aeruginosa 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 (macroscopically identical to those of Chlorociboria aeruginascens, also described with those names).[1] Although the actual fruit bodies are infrequently seen, the green staining of wood caused by the fungus is more prevalent.[1]
