Arrhenia chlorocyanea, commonly known as the verdigris navel,[3] is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hygrophoraceae. Originally named as a species of Agaricus in 1885,[4] and later classified as a member of Omphalina, the species was transferred to the genus Arrhenia in 2002.[5]

The blue mushroom's caps are under 2 centimetres (34 in) wide and the stems are 1–4 cm (381+58 in) tall. The spore print is white.[6] Entoloma species such as E. incarnatofuscescens may appear somewhat similar, but have a pink spore print.[6]

It can be found in moss in Europe and North America.[6][5]
