Jessie and I were watching The Simpsons the other night, and during one of the scenes there were some mushrooms growing in the background. She asked me what kind they were. They were just a typically mushroom shape, but were bright green, so this is the closest I could come up with. The Green Stain Cup (Chlorociboria aeruginascens) is a flat to cup shaped mushroom, with a cap that is green to blue green. It grows in dead or dying oak or hazel trees. What makes this mushroom notable (and gives it its name) is the fact that it produced a greenish stain in the wood, which some people call "green oak". Never having seen one, I'd like to get a chance to see both the color of these as well as the green-stained wood they produce.
