List of U.S. state mushrooms

Five U.S. states, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, and Utah, 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] Four other states, Missouri, Washington, Massachusetts, and New York,[2][3] have had state mushrooms proposed.
