This is a sugar berry that I cut down two weeks ago. It's been sitting off the ground until I split it today. Anyone else ever seen the green color in the wood grain? Thoughts? The tree appeared healthy otherwise.

Wow, seen some green before but not to that extent ! Does it smell moldy at all? Can't tell if it is mold or what, really unique for sure !
Not at all, the tree looked healthy when I cut it and the grain looks solid and sound. I half way wish I had milled it, would have made for some interesting boards.
Maybe, most of the time wood I see with metal in it is stained a blueish black color. That's as good a guess as I've had though.

Looks like "Green Stain Fungus". aka Green Elfcup or Green Woodcup
Chlorociboria aeruginascens. The name just rolls off the tongue. Look for little green cups or saucers on the exterior (the fruiting body of the fungus).
