UVF Sulphur Tuft

[Adrian]

This is the mushroom/toadstool Sulphur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare). Very common in the UK, often growing in large clumps. I have been looking at many fungi this autumn with a UV source, and this is the only one I have found to exhibit true fluorescence. It is very bright (see exposure details).

 

Technical: Nikon D850 with 105mm UV Nikkor. UV image 1 second @ f/32,  200 ISO. Light painted with NEMO torch.

Almost glow in the dark.

Now that's a fluorescing shroom! I've tried a few around here, but nothing.

Excellent find. First mushroom I've seen fluoresce. It really puts on a show.

Thanks for sharing,
