The Mushroom Council is the latest in this space to latch onto the trend with its all-new social media campaign, “What’s Your Mushroom Horoscope?”

According to a press release, the fun, playful social media campaign will feature email newsletters, blog posts, social media content, graphics, and more in order to encourage consumers to discover their 2020 mushroom sign based on their corresponding zodiac.
