During the current study, sunlight- and dark-assessed silver nanoparticles were synthesized from wasp nest fungus,\n                    <jats:italic>Paecilomyces variotii<\/jats:italic>\n                    , at different pHs. Synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) at 6 pH were found to be more prominent than at 7 and 8 pHs. AgNPs were within the 20- to 90-nm range and were polygonal and elongated in shape. FTIR spectra of light-mediated AgNPs showed diverse transmittance bands than the silver nanoparticles synthesized in the dark. The synthesized AgNPs were found with diverse antimicrobial activities against pathogenic MTCC bacterial strains, i.e.,\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Vibrio parahaemolyticus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Shewanella putrefaciens<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and fungus,\n                    <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
