Description
The distinctive green wood-cup is notable first and foremost for its rare blue-green color. The fungus fruits only infrequently, in tiny blue mushrooms, but its presence stains its woody host a noticeable blue or green year-round. Infected wood has been harvested for decorative woodworking crafts for centuries, including English Tunbridge ware and Italian intarsia inlay.
