Is there any benefits to using UV lighting during any phase of mycology work?

Is UV a bad thing in cultivation? During agar work? Colonization of jars or fruiting?

I would think it would help with keeping things cleaner since UV light kills bacteria and such. Never tried it thou.

Would make a cool experiment for fruiting too :strokebeard:

It's not something we use really, no.

Better to leave it alone.  It can cause blindness, skin cancer... bla,bla,bla. UV causes mutations to DNA that's why it kills bacteria but it can also effect you.
