The Mushroom Council and members plan to promote the horoscope to consumers through social media, blogs and e-mail newsletters, according to the release.
“We wanted to begin the new year with a fresh way to inspire fans to discover mushroom varieties they may not be as familiar with and even try out a new recipe,” Bart Minor, president and CEO of the Mushroom Council, said in the release. “We expect our digital audiences – whether they are ‘delicate and mystical’ Pisces or ‘classic and loyal’ Capricorns – will have fun determining whether their designated mushroom reflects their personalities.”
