Message definition (Ergocalciferol)
=== Biosynthesis ===
<!-- Principle -->
The vitamin D<sub>2</sub> content in mushrooms and ''C. arbuscula'' increase with exposure to ultraviolet light. [[Ergosterol]] (provitamin D<sub>2</sub>) found in these fungi is converted to previtamin D<sub>2</sub> on UV exposure, which then turns into vitamin D<sub>2</sub>. As cultured mushrooms are generally grown in darkness, less vitamin D<sub>2</sub> is found compared to those grown in the wild or dried in the sun.

Biosynthesis

The vitamin D2 content in mushrooms and C. arbuscula increase with exposure to ultraviolet light. Ergosterol (provitamin D2) found in these fungi is converted to previtamin D2 on UV exposure, which then turns into vitamin D2. As cultured mushrooms are generally grown in darkness, less vitamin D2 is found compared to those grown in the wild or dried in the sun.
