Chlorociboria aeruginascens


Chlorociboria aeruginascens (say that five times fast) AKA Green Elf Cups.


Spotted by a keen-eyed nature lover while on a blackberry picking foray.


The rainy summer has brought out some amazing fungi, but this one is particularly charming. 

 9 out of 10 elves agree.

Edible, or just pretty and non-edible?

Not sure. Pretty for sure. Possibly edible, but not all edibles, even if non-poisonous, are tasty. Plus, they are only about the size of a fingernail. Would be a labor intensive harvest even if you could find them in numbers great enough to make a meal.
