New Hampshire Takes Measures to Protect Public from Poisonous Mushrooms
New Hampshire has passed a new law which will require people who make money from wild mushrooms to become certified under a licensing program designed to decrease foodborne illnesses.
Governor Chris Sununu signed House Bill 345 into law this past week, and it goes into effect on July 1, 2022. The law allows for fines of up to $1,000 for mushroom sellers per incident. It covers individuals who forage and sell wild mushrooms as well as distributors, retailers, and restaurants that sell them.
