Celebrate National Mushroom Month the Southern Way

We’ve arrived at our last stop on our National Mushroom Month tour. Welcome to the South, where hospitality, country and blues music, and home cooking reign.

The deep-rooted culture and passion for tradition in the South has produced some of the most iconic food dishes that are enjoyed across the nation - cornbread, fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and gumbo, to name a few. Herbs and spices also play a vital role in southern food, giving it the rich and spicy flavors we all know and crave.

Looking to bring some southern-inspired flavors to your home kitchen? Consider cooking up some Chicken & Dumplings with Mushrooms. And if you’re looking to hit the road, be sure to add some of our favorite local, regional and national restaurants to your list.
