There are about 18 IU in 100 g of white button mushrooms. Daily requirement is 400 IU per day.

They synthesize A LOT of vitamin D when they are exposed to UV radiation.

I would put mine in the sun before eating. If the ones you get have been sitting around for a few days after harvesting, it might take more than 5 minutes.

i can do that. if i were to sun some and make a little soup or something with them how many do you think it would take to hit the rda? in that one link it said the vit d content shoots up to ridiculously high levels.

I think 10 minutes would be good. You won't know for sure, though.
