I too had heard of this before, but I had no idea the massive amount of Vitamin D produced. This motivates me to do this, and replace my store bought supplement with this natural version. How good!

[@phillhart2990]

Very well put together, and very well balanced and thought out. I really want to say thanks for putting this content out. I have found that every time I eat mushroom's I feel mentally better the next day or two. I'd heard about sun exposure and your vid showed me everything I need to know to get started. Thanks again.

[@libbyschou-kristensen3483]

Thanks for excellent advise on sun-drying mushrooms. A tip I learnt is to slice the button mushrooms with an egg slicer, place them on their side and they cut beautifully and quickly x Libby, Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa 🇿🇦 😀

[@maureengreen8240]

Since I live in central Texan have plenty of sun and frequent high humidity so I charge them up then crisp dry them in 8 drawer Excalibur dehydreater. I am also going to dehydrate arugula sprouts for d dehydrating and powdering for my winter stash of NO2. I also use the temp control on dehydrator to roast the arugula leaves which gives it the yummiest unami flavor. I love you have all organic produce.

[@maureengreen8240]

Correction...learned the hard way...arugula sprouts are wickedly potent nasty tasting butthe small 3-5 inches long roast up nice and powder down as a unique unami flavor. God dor wintertime NO2. Great if you paint meat with surry of dissolved coffee crystals (I use decafe and a bit of water to a sticky paste texture, brown meat, then sprinkle on roasted arugula powder so you can judge and adjust the taste. I have done pork loin/pork chops grounded and stew beef, and it has such a deep meaty taste.

[@The1tippo]

I have been using a UVB lamp for a couple years inside of my refrigerator. I cut up button mushroom like you did in the video. I lay them on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. The UVB lamp sits on the top shelf and the mushrooms sit below. I usually leave it for a couple days, but maybe that is too long -- 12 to 16 hours is probably better from what you said in the video.

I really love the work you put into your videos. So, I grow shittake mushrooms and in my books they recommend to slice them thinner than you did for the button mushrooms and dry in the sun as you recommend. I have been successful storing them in brown paper bags. Seems the paper bags absorb the moisture before the mushrooms. Anyway it's an excellent way to get the natural vitamin D because it's so critical. Watch Ivor Cummins explain it in his KZbin video " The Critical Role of Vitamin D". Thanks!😊

[@ZykaCharlie]

Hi. I hope you are still reading your comments on this video. 😊 I’m curious about a few things. In the video you mentioned about cooking with the sunshine mushrooms. If you heat them, does the heat affect the the amount of vitamin D or how it’s absorbed in our bodies? Also, how much should you consume each morning? Should we be weighing them? To consume them, should I soak them in water first? What is the best way to consume them, understanding that the mornings are the best time to take vitamin D? Thank you so much! I have learned so much from your videos. I will trying the red cabbage fermentation in January. Mostly because I love beets, and also I watched your video on the differences between the green and red cabbage. I’m very happy to see that the red is so much more healthy. My husband prefers green cabbage though so I will be making that one next. Thank you again! ♥️✊🇨🇦 Alberta

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Hi, 1. heating/cooking them drops the D levels a little, but it's still there. Can't say much about absorption since everyone's body is different. How well someone absorbs and assimilates vit D can depend a lot on literally one's DNA.... there's genes for everything! 2. I can't recommend how much to eat because the D isn't standardized per mushroom. The research I would say is a suggestion of how much D could potentially be in the mushroom. Much depends on latitude, time of year and length of exposure. I personally took a handful every day and crumbled them into my food. No need to weigh them. 3. You can rehydrate them by soaking first, but it's not needed. If you want to keep them raw when you eat them, you can crush them by hand over oatmeal, a salad, rice or a cooked dish. Or if it doesn't matter to you whether they're cooked, you can cook them in some soup or sauce, etc. 4. Good luck with your krauts and happy new year! 😊

Thank you for this very good educational video. To prevent the mushrooms from flying away, you might like to just hang them out on a string. I would cut the mushrooms as you did with button mushrooms. This will also increase sun exposure and dry them faster.

Any thoughts on slicing the portabello? Seems like it would be a good way to thin them and expose internal surface like the button mushrooms.

[@airatru]

Thank you for a comprehensive instruction :) I wonder if there are other mushrooms that could produce even more vitamin D. Since D2 is around 25-30% efficient when compared to D3, it would be nice to have a higher concentration, so it could sustain enough vitamin D for longer times, like 5-10 years supplies. Thank you

[@shekharm4886]

Beautiful video explaining the science of sun dried mushrooms. It’s so comprehensive and easy to understand. Thanks for putting this together in a world where we are increasingly starved of VIT D due to modern lifestyle. I have a request: can you also please make a video explaining best way to prepare with this sun dried mushrooms without loosing stored D2. Thanks a lot.

[@1973sophia]

Read The Optimal Level by Dr Sommerville and Optimim blood level is 140ngper mL. Toxicity does not happen until300 ng per ml in the blood. regular calcium test will be helpful to determine individual toxicity level but supplementing together with K2 will be better and not to be paraboid about toxicity which is easily reversible.

[@sai_charan]

[@thrishulh9834]

use arecanut/terracota plates to place mushroom ,metals do get heated under sun

[@sheilam4964]

Question: Is that "120 g of Vitamin D enriched mushrooms . . . about 1/4 lb, roughly a handful" - taken each time, 4 times per week for 5 weeks or the total amount consumed in the 5 weeks? in other words: Did the experiment use120 g of vit D enhanced dried mushrooms taken 4 times per week for 5 weeks OR did the experiment use 6 g of vit D enhanced dried mushrooms taken 4 times per week for 5 weeks? The answer appears to be obvious but I would be ever so grateful to see it in writing.

[@phillhart2990]

Oh - one more thing. You asked about UBV chamber and if anyone had tried it. The kits certainly vary in price but most are several hundred dollars. We do have one and I haven't tried it with mushrooms sorry - but great idea. One other downside of the UVB chamber / tent (if using it a lot) is the cost of the electricity . Not so bad for a small batch if but doing it all the time, the price could become a component discouraging some. but Then again, personally for the benefits - I'd be willing to give it a go.

What a great idea! Congratulation! Just one thumb up is not enough, yhis earns at least five...Folks, do not worry about oversupplying Vit.D to your body; it is virtually impossible, in spite of a widely held believe. This has been experimentally tested. Calcium in the blood stayed normal with high and also very high doses of Vitamin D.

Thanks for your prompt answer and exceptional vedeo how much mushroom should i eat every day .? And should i pack the mushroom in the jar ? I was involved in mushroom growing for thirty years and although my work was on the electrical side i can share some knowledge with you .mushroom is grown in three batches in one bed of compost than the compost is thrown away. You can recognise the mushroom of the first batch from the second and third . The once from the first batch will have a thicker stem than those of the second and third batch.similarly the once from second batch will have a thicker stem from the third.

Hi, Thanks for your effort in structuring this video in such sequenced way which makes it easier for us to understand & remember. I believe the latitude we live in should have an impact on the no.of days of drying to not over exposure. I tried to study on my own too & there isnt one that exactly described this. I live in Auckland-NZ (latitude -35) & since you mentioned you live in Montana, I looked up a city southern city in MT called Hardin (Lat 45), so i guess 2 days exposure is applicable for me here in NZ too.

Hello. Theres is a lot of information on the web on increasing vitamin d2 levels in mushrooms. Is it accurate? One site said that using a grow light on sliced mushrooms for just a few minutes increases the D2 levels enough to get youre daily dose and allows you to eat them fresh..That seems the most convenient to me as if I were to buy the mushrooms weekly, slice them when get home and give them about 5 minutes of grow light exposure and then refrigerate them allows me to eat them through out the week.

[@y.e.2103]

Great information, many thanks. Couple of questions though, you seem to associate humidity levels of the mushrooms after 2 days of drying with the amount of VitD they have produced. Are you saying, if they are not dry enough then they have not produced any or very little VitD? Is this a fact? You also mentioned that, if they haven't dried enough then continue drying in a dehydrator...I think these two statements contradict each other. By the way, I am not being pedantic or anything like this, far from it, I am just trying to understand. Thanks again for all your videos, not just this one 🙂

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Hi, sorry for not being clear. I was associating humidity levels with how well they will store long term, not how much vit D they will produce. If by day 3 they still contain moisture, finish drying them in a dehydrator before storing them. If they go into the glass jar for storage with moisture, they will mold. So vit D levels are the same, moisture/no moisture.... storage capacity is affected, that's it.😊 PS: I also have a video on how to make D mushrooms without the sun (winter months) if that interests you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnmWlYynoa6UZ8k
