SB 571 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: designating the hen-of-the-woods as the Wisconsin state mushroom.

This bill designates the hen-of-the-woods mushroom (*Grifola frondosa*) as Wisconsin's official state mushroom. It adds this designation to Wisconsin's list of state symbols by creating a new subsection (1.10 (3) (w)) in the statutes and amending another section to include "mushroom" in the list of symbols covered by the Wisconsin Blue Book. The bill does not create new policies or affect any regulations, programs, or funding - it is purely symbolic recognition. The change would appear in the state's official publications like the Blue Book, similar to existing symbols like the state song or tree.
