Fungal pigments
    #7314405 -

I have noticed that many fungi possess pigments which have both fluorescent, photo-active, photo-protective, and radio-protective properties. Yesterday I made a jar and put Peganum harmala in it. Harmaline is know to be a UV-A reactive pigment. Melanin is found in the mycelium of the Honey mushroom. Aspergillus flavus aflatoxins are fluorescent. Many fungi produce anthraquinones; many of which are pigments. And didn't hear something about bioluminescent mushrooms like the Ghost mushroom. The white button mushrooms only produce Vitamin D in the presence of light. Light is a trigger for mushroom fruiting, but I'll agree mushies will; at first, PIN in the dark.

Of course, that depends on the species. Some, such as many Agaricus mushrooms require no light at all, but I doubt you'd ever get a Shiitake or Oyster mushroom to pin in complete darkness.

The term inkcap gets it's name for that very reason... :shrug:

I often thought it would be cool to use spores to make pigment's for my wifey's paintings but as I'm allergic to mold and most spores... whaddayagonnado.
