Mushrooms in the News: 06-15-18

The Wall Street Journal published an article about the rising popularity in home-grown mushrooms, and the mushroom trend as a whole. The article notes “more than 400 food products featuring mushrooms were introduced in 2017, up 22% from the prior year.” The author calls out the Blended Burger Project and spotlights Ox Restaurant in Portland, Ore. for featuring a half-dozen mushroom varieties on its menu.

On the BBP front, local coverage continues with BBP features in Eater Austin, Eater Charleston, The Spokesman-Review and the Orlando Sentinel. In addition, Michelle Dudash, media dietitian, interviewed Chef Ryan Nelson of Late Harvest Kitchen, Indianapolis on her Facebook Live show, Carmel Today, which can be viewed here.
