Chlorociboria aeruginascens
Sporocarp
Fruiting bodies aerugineus-green (blue-green); apotheca cup to discoid shaped, 3-10mm broad at maturity; stipitate to sub-stipitate with the stipe typically laterally attached.
Spores
Spores fusiform, 5-9 x 1.5-2 µm, smooth. Spore print not seen.
Habitat
Scattered to gregarious on wood; the wood usually stained blue-green by the mycelium of the fungus.
Edibility
Much too small to be considered!
Comments
Chlorociboria aeruginascens can easily be confused with its close relative, Chlorociboria aeruginosa. Chlorociboria aeruginosa tends to be a little smaller and have a centrally attached stipe rather than a laterally attached stipe. The only consistantly reliable differentiation is the larger spores of Chlorociboria aeruginosa: 9-15 X 1.4-2.8 µm versus 5-8 X 0.7-2.8 µm for Chlorociboria aeruginascens.
