Blue-green stropharia (Stropharia aeruginosa)

These unusually coloured mushrooms are always a pleasure to find, though I don't see them all that often. There was a cluster of them under some spruce in the Ottawa Arboretum.

What a nice capture! I like the bluish atmosphere which matches so well the mushroom colour.
