📚 BackgroundMushrooms aren't plants — they're fungi, and they don't need a speck of sunlight. They're grown indoors in dark, cool mushroom houses, so the champion isn't picked by climate the way a field crop is. Pennsylvania grows about two-thirds of all the mushrooms in the country.(USDA NASS Quick Stats)
