> The vitamin D levels in these mushrooms soared from 100 IU/100 grams to nearly 46,000 IU/100 gram

Isn't 46000 IU well into the dangerous range? This procedure sounds like an easy way to poison your liver.

The number I found says 4000 IU is a recommended max. You could say that you should only eat <10 grams then, but how much variability is there in the amount?

According to this at least 5k to 50k daily appears to be safe:

Not sure what happens if you eat 10 mushrooms though

Per 100g was the amount, I think. Need to eat a decent quantity at that rate.

In many countries, the standard of care for low vitamin D is a bolus dose of 60K IU once a month is perfectly fine. It's only a problem if you were eating this much every day.

When it's from food the tolerance is much higher. It's a bigger danger when taking supplements.

Is it? Interesting.
