Fun fact: mushrooms produce vitamin D in the sun! #growyourownfood #urbanhomesteading #funfacts

As a person with darker skin who has a serious vitamin D deficiency that I could go on about since it’s likely responsible for a shocking number of my mild ailments this information is really appreciated

Bruh we really judge people based on how much Vitamin D they can produce.

[BHuang]

Which is one of those strange reasons why mushrooms are not considered plants.

[maxzytaruk]

I dont know why but there's something lowkey adorable about sun tanning your mushrooms 😂🌠

[terrymcclintock]

Lack of Vt D can cause depression.
Thank you! You are providing Much needed info!

If you buy store bought mushrooms, chop/cut them up and put them under any sort of UV radiation for 10 mins for some extra Vitamin D in your meal ☺️ if it's dark out I stick them under my plant grow lights 😆

[JoelGonzalez-udqo]

Never knew the correlation of dark/light skin adaptation to producing vitamin D. 😮

I love the fact that my skin tone is like perfect for northern winters... while my body reacts to cold by breaking out in hives...

If you don't have celery in your garden this coming year, I'd highly suggest it! It grows so quickly and large. And you can harvest it till November. It wasn't bothered by the cold until it started to snow. So depending on when you get snow, these plants can go for a long time. Plus you can also take in some in pots for winter to replant the next year!

I did actually know that! Recently read about it. They specifically produce vitamin d2 which is considered "less" nutritious than vitamin d3 from animal tissue (you need more if you eat d2 over d3). The fun thing is that you can also get vitamin b12 from shiitake mushrooms! People often think vitamin b12 can only come from animal sources, that isn't true at all!

Good info. I’m trying to grow oyster mushrooms in buckets.

Did you know we're just like mushrooms....we too are kept in the dark and shit on!

Shiitake gather way more vit d as well. Also important to lay them out gills up
