“Long celebrated as a superfood source of powerful nutrients, fresh mushrooms are a healthy addition to your plate. Mushrooms provide many of the same nutritional benefits as vegetables, as well as attributes commonly found in meat, beans and grains. Mushrooms can help fulfill some of the leading recommendations for a healthy diet from the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.”

“The most popular mushroom variety grown in the U.S. is white button, followed by crimini (brown or baby bellas), portabellas, enoki, oyster, maitake and shiitake.”

“Today, mushrooms are commercially produced in virtually every state. The Mushroom Council® plays an important role in the national promotion of those fresh mushrooms.”
