Mycologists, mushroom societies, and other fungus lovers from around the state have identified six mushrooms that would best represent our wondrous state. Now we need your help. California residents are invited to vote for their favorite mushroom. The winning selection will be taken to the State Legislature to make it official. Ballots are due Saturday, May 7 - See the official site to check out the nominated mushroom species, and cast your vote.
