Flying fungi saucer

Found a few of these dinner plate sized 'shaggy parasol' fungi growing in the sheep field today.  It was getting a bit overcast and dark, so out with my little led pocket torch to add a bit of light.  The underside of the mushroom has white gills but to my amazement they produced a brilliant blue fluorescence.  I am assuming that the UV light in the torch beam made it glow
