The Mushroom Bureau is the British equivalent of the Mushroom Council. It’s the bureau’s job to help sell more mushrooms. According to Mushroom trade body starts search for ad agency by Gemma Charles, the bureau is seeking some help for that.

According to the article, “Founded in 1993, it [the Mushroom Bureau] is funded voluntarily by its members who are predominantly mushroom growers and trade alliances to the industry in the UK, Ireland and continental Europe.” 1993 was the same year the Mushroom Council was founded in the U.S.A.

The funding of the two organizations seems a little different. I believe I saw some where that there is a small surcharge added to the price of mushrooms to help fund the Mushroom Council (although I can’t seem to track that down to confirm it). Or, I might be thinking of a mushroom food safety surcharge.
