Vitamin D in Mushrooms

[Guest guest]

I just bought a package of mushrooms that declare in large print

" 100% vitamin D for strong bones "

Nutrition facts label states 100% DV vitamin D in 3 oz serving (2.5

servings in 8 oz container)

Brand: Monterey Mushrooms, ville, CA

So of course I searched USDA nutrient database and found different info for

Vit D. But there are a few google hits saying that mushrooms exposed to

UV rays are high in vitamin D.

So some mushrooms are a good source of vitamin D but not all ??

What do we as dietitians do with this? I guess it all goes back to

reading labels.

Is anyone concerned that people will think that all mushrooms are high in

vitamin D ?
