It seems nature provides again - less sun and the fungi arrive.

I'm glad i sucked you in.
But it is magic.
what is interesting is that the Vitamin D level soars when commercially grown tunnel mushrooms are given a short burst of sunlight (c. 6 hours?).
There was some suggestion that Mushroom growers be asked to do this before sending mushrooms to market.
I love mushrooms and fungi but can't cook them. & most of my family are not keen on the stranger varieties
Tthe only time I get a good hit is Yum Char in China Town occasionally(Father's Day the last time

This was a fascinating TV report on exotic mushrooms, but I think most of his crop is sold OS in SE Asia.
Unfortunately I can't find the video for you

It looks like a medieval cathedral, but there are no worshippers - just mushrooms, tens of thousands being grown 70 metres below ground.

Giving children vitamin D supplements in infancy may shear their risk of developing type 1 diabetes later in life. In an analysis of previously published studies, British researchers found significant evidence that supplements of the vitamin were associated with a 29% reduced risk of the disease.

Participants in the studies were given vitamin D supplements from birth onward, for a variable time period, and were tracked for some 15 to 30 years, according to Dr. Christos Zipitis, a pediatrician with the Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and lead author of the new paper, which appears online this week in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Types and doses of vitamin D supplements varied, and were not always reported, but Zipitis says supplementation was roughly 10 mcg, or 400 I.U., of vitamin D daily — the amount typically found in infant multivitamins. Based on data from three case-control studies involving 6,455 participants, the new paper found that infants who were given supplements were 29% less likely to develop type 1 diabetes compared with infants who never got extra vitamin D. .
