One of my favourite #fungi: Green Elf Cup, Chlorociboria aeruginascens (or aeruginosa, only distinguishable by the spores).
Look at bark-free #deadwood in humid places (often #oak) and search for bluish-green stains. This tiny #fungus contains the #pigment #Xylindein and colours #wood with its #mycelium. It was already considered a precious object in the #Renaissance for #marquetry.
