The Prismatic Wavy Cup (Chlorencoelia torta) is a decomposer of wood that can be found from July to mid-October growing on a wide variety of tree species. Generally found on well-decayed, barkless logs in central to north-eastern North America. The featured specimen was found on presumed American Linden.

The Prismatic Wavy Cup features a wide variety of unusual color transitions, from blue, to yellow, to olive-green, brown, and even orange. It can be found growing solidarity, in groups, and sometimes multiple cups growing from the same stem (caespitose). Fruiting bodies grow as a cup when young, later transitioning into a flattened disc with a wavy margin. This feature is how it gets its species name torta, meaning twisted or contorted (Dixon, 1975).
