Blue Mahoe

Beech can sometimes (very very rarely) get a green mold. When this happens it stains the wood a startling emerald green. It also needs to be stabilised afterward. I’ll see if I can find some. If not then well.

Update: gruenspanbecherling is actually the name of the fungus. It attacks most hardwoods and leaves Color most prominently in beech and hornbeam.

It is also basically non existent commercially so I might be looking in some beech forests round here soon.

How would it be non-existent commercially? It's not a plantation species, is it? Wouldn't growing conditions be the same?
 
I did some experimenting with copper acetate and indigo last year. I had a very nice green on oak for a while but it went over to brown. I see you can buy Chlorociboria cultures if you're really keen:)
