It’s mushroom month again in the USA and it has seen record breaking attendance at the Kennett Square Mushroom festival in Philadelphia. More than 100,000 people flocked to the 31st annual Kennett Square Mushroom Festival over the weekend of the 10-11th of September. Those are some big numbers for a mushroom festival. The good weather helped, as did the National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship at the Special Events Tent which attracted quite a crowd. Ireland should definitely have a National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship. Sounds utterly scrumptious as an event!
