Blue Wood - Chlorociboria sp.

*I'm not sure of the species since there were no fruiting bodies*

The mycelium of Chlorociboria stains wood bluish-green. The color is the result of a pigment called xylindein. The blue areas show everywhere that the Chlorociboria hyphae are present.

Habitat: Rotting wood in a deciduous forest

  I see it all the time. It's common, but not always this vibrant. Posted 6 years ago
