Chlorociboria fungus stains this fallen wood green. At Fern Cliff in Putnam County, Nov. 11, 2017.
It's common to see fallen logs in the forest stained green with this fungus but it rarely shows fruiting bodies like we see here.
A closer look at the little blue cup fruiting bodies of the Chlorociboria fungus.
The sandstone here at Fern Cliff has a blue-green color that resembles this, but the Chlorociboria color is from a chemical called xylindein which doesn't have copper in it. The blue-green color of the sandstone is from copper impurities in the sand.
