I read a study a long time ago, it was done in Finland and they looked at the vitamin D status of people who ate winter chanterelles vs. those who took supplements. The mushroom eaters were as good as the others! You know, in the north we have a long season when we're not getting any D from the sunlight. But it seems really important especially to elderly folks, wherever you live.
I wonder if the vitamin D content is why they keep so well.
