How mushrooms are grown in California.
California is one of the largest producers of mushrooms in the United States. The state’s warm climate and rich soil make it an ideal location for growing mushrooms. California-grown mushrooms are known for their high quality and taste, and they are available year-round.

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the dry, hot pan in a single layer. Stirring occasionally, allow the mushrooms to cook until they release all of their liquid and the liquid has evaporated from the pan. About 5 minutes.
