Underside of polypore mushrooms Nigroporus vinosus when exposed to regular daylight as well as when illuminated by a 365 nm ultraviolet (UV-A) blacklight from Sand Branch Loop Trail in Sam Houston National Forest near Montgomery. Texas

🎞️ #3616-27

The accompanying image presents two photographs of the underside of Nigroporus vinosus polypore mushrooms: one taken under regular daylight and the other illuminated by a 365 nm ultraviolet (UV-A) blacklight.

In the top photograph, captured with visible light, the underside of the mushroom exhibits a brownish hue. In contrast, the bottom image was obtained using UV-A illumination, which reveals a vibrant pink coloration that is otherwise not apparent under regular lighting conditions. The photographs were taken in September 2024 at Sand Branch Loop Trail within Sam Houston National Forest near Montgomery, Texas.

The images suggest that Nigroporus vinosus polypore mushrooms possess fluorescent properties when exposed to UV-A light, which can be used for identification or detection purposes. This phenomenon is not visible under regular lighting conditions but becomes apparent with the application of UV-A illumination. – AI vision
