  1. Place your mushrooms in the sun for a couple of hours and their vitamin D content increases significantly too. They have a similar biochemical process to what we do.

    Nature ALWAYS has the answers. We didn’t just end up here with opiod receptors, cannabinoid receptors, greater ability to make vit. D in lighter skin thus enabling migration away from the equator by whites, etc. by coincidence.

    I had to do a google search on egothioneine to see if cooking destroys it or not.
    What I found was cooking does not destroy it but the method you use to cook the mushrooms does have an effect on the retention of the egothioneine in the mushrooms.
    Boiling mushrooms leeches almost all of the egothioneine from them whereas roasting or Sautéing them in oil/butter has the highest retention.
    However, if you are going to include the liquid from boiling them such as in a soup or stew then that shouldn’t matter.
