Chlorociboria (An elfcup fungus)
The fruit body is saucer-like to cup-like (and technically is called an apothecium). It is blue-green, with a diameter from a few millimetres to a centimetre or so and sits atop a short stem. The apothecium is smooth on both upper and lower surfaces.
The apothecia appear on wood and the mycelium within the wood stains the wood blue-green, as shown here: http://www.cpbr.gov.au/fungi/images-captions/chlorociboria-aeruginascens-wood-0100.html
