A resolution recognizing and honoring National Mushroom Day and the contributions of Chester and Berks Counties to the national mushroom industry and to healthy diets.

This resolution recognizes June 1 as National Mushroom Day and honors Chester and Berks Counties in Pennsylvania, where over 60 percent of the nation's mushrooms are grown. The region's farms — including multigenerational family operations — employ nearly 10,000 workers and contribute an estimated $2.7 billion to Chester County's economy. The Senate also recognizes the nutritional role mushrooms play in healthy diets, noting they are fat-free, low in calories, and rich in whole-food value.
