_____________

These are all titles of articles that may interest people in relation to this topic.

UV-C light is a mutagenic agent in many fungi, it has more promise in relation to breeding than it does in terms of sterilization. That's an advanced topic though and there really isn't much call for its use in the growing of sacred fungi. For those using it as a mutagenic agent a simple handheld wand is effective, but it's tricky to use. I won't share the basic methods but they can be found by searching online. It also has some uses when it comes to plants. I use it on cactus seedlings, for example. I also wear glasses that block UV light and avoid exposing my skin to the light when working with it.

It works and most UV-C lights don't create enough ozone to be a big problem. Hospitals use the lights and there doesn't seem to be ozone related health issues associated with working in a hospital.

In fact, when someone is harmed from ozone poisoning they go to a hospital for treatment where UV-C units are common and they recover just fine.

It's also useful for niche applications as a mutagenic agent as mentioned.

It may not offer distinct advantages for cultivators who already have excellent technique or a laminar flow hood.
