Residents of the Mushroom Capital of the World will be interested in a June 12 story in the "Wall Street Journal" about backyard mushroom growers.
Reporter Anne Marie Chaker writes that "More than 400 food products featuring mushrooms were introduced in 2017, up 22% from a year earlier … The rise of the mushroom comes as more consumers seek so-called functional foods that promise to do more for the body than just provide nutrition."
She interviewed "hobby" gardeners in Maryland, Pittsburgh and Florida who grow chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, shiitakes, morels, wine caps, and lion's mane, as well as people who offer mushroom-cultivation classes.
