Trivia | If you put fresh Champignon Mushrooms in the sunshine, you can notice, after a few hours, the development of some yellowy brown spots on their surface: that is some sort of reaction which can lead to the forming of vitamin D or ergocalciferol, useful to bone mineralization and of which this mushroom is rich. |
