Agricultural researchers have found that post harvest treatment of porta bella mushrooms with UV-B light causes them to form useful quantities of vitamin D. The technique is now being used commercially and the vitamin enhanced mushrooms are on the market.

Thanks to UV-B light-like that in sunshine-the company's new Sun Bella line of fresh mushrooms offers at least 100 percent of the recommended intake of vitamin D in each 3-ounce serving. ed.z.: haven't tried this new brand yet but I love porta bellas. Interesting something that simple works though.

Ick.

Please just pick 'em and get 'em to market. I can leave them out in the sun just fine myself, if that's what I want.
