Thanks for the read, I appreciate it. I did pass my UV light over it and no fluorescence. I thought the lower cortex may have been lighting up but probably just looked brighter than the rest of the thallus due to the lighter colour. I always carry a uv light with me but I'm terrible for leaving it in my pocket haha
