Green Elfcup - Chlorociboria aeruginascens
Chlorociboria aeruginascens 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. Although the actual fruit bodies are infrequently seen, the green staining of wood caused by the fungus is more prevalent.
This stained wood is used in Marquetry as an inlay called "Tunbridge ware"
