The image presents a detailed view of a red brittlegill (Russula) mushroom, illuminated by near-ultraviolet light and captured from a slightly angled perspective.
**Mushroom Characteristics**
* The mushroom's cap is partially visible on the left side of the image.
* A small portion of the stem is shown, with its base connected to the cap.
* The gills are white and closely packed beneath the cap, extending down the length of the stem.
* The edges of the gills appear slightly frayed.
**Lighting Effect**
* The mushroom emits a vibrant greenish-blue glow under near-ultraviolet light.
* This phenomenon is known as "fluorescence" and occurs in some organisms when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, causing them to emit light at longer wavelengths. – AI vision
