Amongst all the mushroom varieties, Shiitake holds the weakest growth trend. Under the unremitting endeavour of technical staffs working in Beijing Agricultural Technology Promotion Station, by now, production of liquid spawn on the majority of varieties such as Enoki, King oyster mushroom, Black fungus and Oyster has been realized, which is of great significance to stimulate the development of mushroom industry.

In order to do a great job on production of liquid spawn of Shiitake mushroom, by the research on selection of strain formula, technical links of strain cultivation and inoculation technology, preliminary result has been obtained by now. Liquid spawn shaken by magnetic stirrer carries robust mycelia and even balls. However, time for cultivation time is a little bit longer, and hence a further experimental study or investigation is needed so as to reduce the spawn-running period of strain.
 

For pushing the innovative development, communication, cooperation of China’s Shiitake industry and lifing its market competitiveness, The First National Shiitake Industry Innovation Development Meeting sponsored by China Edible Mushroom Business Net and China Township Enterprises Association was splendidly held during 6-8th, June in Dandong City, Liaoning Province of China.

This time of meeting attracted the participation of over 2000 colleagues engaging in Shiitake industry, and over 10 distributing businesses coming from above 10 nations and regions such as Japan, Korea and North Korea.

During the meeting, “2018 Investigation Report on China’s Shiitake Industry” was freshly released. According to the report, in 2017, gross output on Shiitake mushroom came to 9.2589 million tons in China, which shows 10.84% of growth rate compared with 2016 (8.3535 million tons). And during over 8 years of period, average annual growth rate on gross output of Shiitake mushroom also hits 16.64% in China.

China holds over 800 years of history on Shitake cultivation, now, region of the cultivation has spread to the majority of provinces, cities and autonomous areas within the nation. In recent years, Shiitake mushroom has been grasped as one of the leading varieties that boost precise poverty alleviation, and it keeps on playing a positive and promoting effect on growth of agricultural efficiency, growth of farmers’ income and rural revitalization. Meanwhile, a series of problems on strained supply of raw materials, low intensive level, poor market circulation exist in strain selection, technical innovation, production management and market construction of China’s Shiitake industry. Consequently, we need more communication and study so as to positively figure solutions out, break development bottleneck and realize innovative and sustainable development.

This time of meeting seized "Promoting the Innovation, Transforming the Function and Stimulating the Development" as the theme, embraced on many hot issues such as production and processing technology of Shiitake mushroom, building of product brand and construction of circulation channel.

Hailed as “The Largest and The Most Beautiful Border City in China,” Dandong City situates in southeast of Liaoning Province, it is the key intersection between Northeast Asia Economic Circle and Economic Circle of Bohai and Yellow Sea. In recent years, Dandong City insists on vigorously developing anti-season mushroom production by virtues of local natural environment and geographic traffic. As scale of local mushroom industry goes from strength to strength, mushroom production has become the leading industry which promotes local masses to generate incomes and increase foreign exchange through export, and it breeds big market potential.

During the meeting, a series of innovative results were brillantly displayed while over 100 exhibitors showed up with their newly-developed equipment and deep-processed products that include Shiitake Spawn, Equipment, Supplies and so on. The successful conclusion of The First National Shiitake Industry Innovation Development Meeting will surely promote the achievement transformation of new products and new technology on China’s Shiitake Industry, and stimulate its transformation and upgrading.

It was time, time to make a change in order to further develop our news platform as well as reinvent ourselves.

One year ago we decided to continue the platform of our appreciated collegue Gerard Speel, who sadly passed away beginning of 2017. We kept the name and logo, but build a complete new responsive news platform to offer you all the latest digital techniques and opportunities to read the news in the best way possible. Since a few months we felt that change was coming and that the name and logo did not further fit into our plans. To make the neccessary steps to further grow and develop our platform, we are happy to announce our new name, logo and slogan!
