I think once in my life I actually brought of clear junk. It is usually yellowish green for me and then gets really dark when I have an infection. The consistency changes too. When I am feeling ok it isn't too thick. Kind of like egg yolk but when I am sick it can be like pudding or even clay. Though last weekend I think I took too much thinning stuff and it was like dark green water ewww.

Production varies daily for me. When I have an infection I can bring up a bunch of goo but VERY RARELY more than 1/8 cup. On healthy days I will get one or two globs out but they can be the size of a penny or a spoonful.

I usually have a khaki green colored sputum. On days where i am doing really well it is more yellow green. Usually not real thick or chunky ( it appears well hydrated....lol)
I dont produce much sputum unless somethings going on. i keep a 5 oz. plastic cup around to spit in and at the end of the day i think its only about 1/2 - 3/4 full.
Now when i had an undiagnosed aspergilloma ( fungus ball) i was coughing up a lot of much thinner sputum and much more of it.
