The base of a fruiting body of a fungus. Check out the multicoloured glow. Would love to know more about the fluorophores in there.

Sadly little is known about the glowing chemistry of fungi. Hopefully someone will pick up this thread for investigation one day.

We had a fascinating evening exploring the world of biofluorescence with David from Reveal Nature.
It was an amazing insight into a hidden world where we found fungi, lichen, snails, spiders, caterpillars and more!

The rainbow world of Biofluorescence down by a waterfall. A rich mix of different mosses, liverworts, and algae lighting up the night.

Seeing a waterfall flow like milk over blood red rocks is a truly surreal scene.

A handful of the many biofluorescent mushrooms that light up the Valdivian Rainforest each Autumn. Combined with the liverworts, lichens and other epiphytes it makes for one of the most colourful spots in the world for biofluroescence.

A beautiful biofluorescent fungal infection!

Saying this sentence never gets old 😁.

Many different types of fungal infections are biofluorescent and it can be a great tool to help pick up the earliest stages of fungal infections on a wide range of plants.

Yet another reason why having a UV torch to hand is such a helpful tool for any keen gardeners.

By daytime crustose lichens often get overlooked as being boring white blobs on trees, rocks and pavements. But wait till night and shine a UV torch on them and when you get lucky they might just reveal a whole hidden world of colours.

They produce some stunning artworks right around the world, including here in the Valdivian Rainforest, in Chile.

The Valdivian Rainforest of Chile - A rainbow forest of magic.

England has blue trees!

The beautiful biofluorescent globe ball lichen bringing some blue magic to the night in Devon.

Blue might be a rare colour in nature when it comes to reflected light, but it's a common one in the world of biofluorescence.
