Méry is one of the principal places of the culture of the mushroom in Ile-de-France, thanks to the presence of several underground careers and with the relative proximity of the Hippodrome of Chantilly, which feeds the cultures in manure. However, vis-a-vis the competition of the Eastern European countries, this traditional culture gradually disappeared during the Années 1980.
