Do mushrooms contain vitamin B12?
Australian government laboratories tested the mushroom in 1987 and found that a serve of mushrooms provided about 10% of the daily needs of vitamin B12. Since then there has been speculation whether the B12 came from the mushroom or just happened to be on the mushroom. To establish the real levels of B12 in mushrooms, scientists at the University of Western Sydney are now checking mushroom samples from around Australia for their B12 content. We shall be bringing you those results later in 2008.
