Designates the smooth chanterelle as the official state mushroom
HB 1960 designates the smooth chanterelle mushroom (scientifically known as *Cantharellus lateritius*) as Missouri's official state mushroom. This symbolic bill amends state law to formally recognize the fungus as a state emblem, with no practical policy effects or direct impact on residents or regulations. The change is purely ceremonial, aligning with Missouri's tradition of designating official state symbols.
