Nutr."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency is a public health issue, with low dietary vitamin D intakes a contributing factor. Rates of vitamin D deficiency are 31% in Australia, and up to 72% in some regions globally. While supplementation is often prescribed as an alternative to additional sun exposure, complementary approaches including food-based solutions are needed. Yet, food-centric dietary guidelines are not always adequate for meeting vitamin D needs. Edible mushrooms such as <jats:italic>Agaricus bisporus<\/jats:italic> can produce over 100% of vitamin D recommendations (10\u2009\u03bcg\/day, Institute of Medicine) per 75\u2009g serve (18\u2009\u03bcg) on exposure to UV-light, with the vitamin D<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> produced showing good stability during cooking and processing. However, mushrooms are overlooked as a vitamin D source in dietary guidelines. Our dietary modelling shows that four serves\/week of UV-exposed button mushrooms can support most Australian adults in meeting vitamin D recommendations, and UV-exposed mushrooms have been found to increase vitamin D status in deficient individuals. While recent evidence suggests some differences between vitamin D<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and vitamin D<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> in physiological activities, vitamin D<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> from mushrooms can be part of a larger solution to increasing dietary vitamin D intakes, as well as an important focus for public health policy. Mushrooms exposed to UV represent an important tool in the strategic toolkit for addressing vitamin D deficiency in Australia and globally. Health authorities lead the recognition and promotion of mushrooms as a natural, vegan, safe, and sustainable vitamin D food source.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2024.1384273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]],"date-time":"2024-04-10T04:51:18Z","timestamp":1712724678000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Mushrooms:
