A teal/blue fungal infection of wood that affected many downed branches and trees in the area. An instructor told me that people will inject spores into live trees in order to harvest the blue wood for decorative projects once they die. This seems morally questionable as the fungus probably harms the tree and I’m sure that people are doing this in areas where gathering wood is not allowed for good reason. Im curious what the fruiting body of this genus would look like as I’ve only ever seen the infection within wood. This could also probably allow me to make an identification of the species rather than the genus. The stick was already partially decomposed but almost fully colonized by this chlorociboria species.
