- BurningFrog 6y agoSo, much like humans, mushrooms produce vitamin D from sunlight?
- bawolff 6y agoHow much vitamin D is in a mushroom is going to depend more on how they are grown and stored then on the particular species afaik (in particular how much uv radiation it is exposed to). I believe also that there will be more vitamin D in mushrooms that are irradiated to give them a longer shelf life. I don't think usa is a country where that practise is common, but i believe it is common in some other countries.
