The Agricultural Marketing Service published a proposed rule on Aug. 25 to adjust the membership of the Mushroom Council, according to the Federal Register.[^1]

The read here is that a membership adjustment proposal is an operational change - it alters who sits on the body that governs mushroom promotion and research assessments. The Federal Register entry opens a comment window, meaning the composition shift is not final.

One day earlier, Congress.gov shows that HR10144, the Pesticide Harm Accountability Act, was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.[^2] The two actions share a committee jurisdiction and a calendar date, though nothing in the record connects them as cause or effect.
