Mushrooms are Unlikely Source of Vitamin D

http://news./s/ap/20060418/ap_on_he_me/diet_mushroom_vitamin_d_1

The ongoing work so far has found that a single serving of white button

mushrooms — the most commonly sold mushroom — will contain 869 percent the daily

value of vitamin D once exposed to just five minutes of UV light after being

harvested . If confirmed, that would be more than what's in two tablespoons of

cod liver oil, one of the richest — and most detested — natural sources of the

vitamin, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Looks like wild gathered mushrooms exposed to sunlight were an excellent D

source for forest tribes.

That's vitamin D2, though.
