List of U.S. state mushrooms
Three U.S. states, Minnesota, Oregon, and Texas, have officially declared a state mushroom. Minnesota was the first to declare a species; Morchella esculenta was chosen as its state mushroom in 1984, and codified into Statute in 2010.[1] Three other states, Missouri, Washington, and New York[2][3] have had state mushrooms proposed.
