Chlorociboria is a genus of fungi within the subphylum Pezizomycetes. The genus contains 17 species.[1]
There are two known species, Chlorociboria aeruginascens and Chlorociboria aeruginosa, which can only reliably be distinguished by microscopic examination. C. aeruginosa has larger spores (9–15 µm × 1.5–2.5 µm) and the worm-like cells of the upper surface are rough, unlike the commoner C. aeruginascens, of which the spores are 6–10 µm × 1.5–2 µm.
The hyphae's secondary metabolites stain the substrate oak wood blue-green, with "green oak" being a valued commodity.
Habit
Blue-green stain is evident year-round, with ascocarp germination occurring from summer to fall.
