At present, in mushroom house owned by Mr. Zhang, Button mushrooms are successively coming into season.

According to know, Mr. Zhang lives in Longtou Village, Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province of China, over the years, he insists on seizing stone material factory as the main industry. However, along with the transformation and upgrading of the industry, low-end and stale mode becomes the development bottleneck of Longtou Village.

In early 2016, Longtou Village started to guide farmers to embark on Button mushroom cultivation, and in order to promote standardized production better and arouse the enthusiasm of growers, village collective provided cultivation site for them and helped solve necessary infrastructures.

“Growth temperature for Button mushroom should be at 14-20 degrees Celsius. Compared with other regions, temperature of Longtou Village is more balanced and two seasons’ of fruiting could be realized per year, which precisely meets the requirements of winter mushroom markets,” introduces secretary of Longtou Village passionately.

By the end of 2017, 48 high-standard Button mushroom greenhouses were built within Longtou Village, 38 households were driven to launch into mushroom cultivation and gross output amounted to 1 million kg. In addition, above 700,000 CNY was raised on establishment of strain factory that occupies 400 square meters, and 9 strain-cultivation cabinets of Button mushroom. Next step, the village is going to build another 50 greenhouses, introduce drying and deep-processing technology, strives to build a green, organic, ecological and circular agriculture that integrates strain cultivation, production, R&D and processing into one.

Over the days, Bear’s paw mushrooms exploited in Quanzijie Town, Jimsar County of Sinkiang keep holding desirable fruiting tendency. According to the weighting, the largest one weights 6.7kg and mu revenues attain 100,000 CNY.

“It took me 4 years from R&D to successful trial cultivation of Bear’s paw mushroom,” said Mr. Wang, one of mushroom mavens in Quanzijie Town warmly, adding that Bear’s paw mushrooms win considerable output, theoretical mu yield reaches above 10 tons while the present mu output comes to over 8 tons.

In Quanzijie Town, Bear’s paw mushrooms appeared on market on December, 2017 and gained favorable feedback. Along with the increasing demand, Jimsar County sets Bear’s paw mushroom cultivation as the sunrise industry and puts its deep-processing industry on the agenda. Now, a series of ready-to-eat Bear’s paw mushroom snacks, powders, dried and canned Bear’s paw mushroom products are in planned exploration, which reveals a prosperous tomorrow.
 

As known to all, vegetable greenhouse shows heat preservation effect. However, in summer, the effect does nothing else but just like “Adding Fuel to the Flame” to vegetables. In Shiitake greenhouse of Tiedian Village, Pan’an County, Zhejiang Province of China, indoor temperature is at 23 degrees Celsius while outdoor temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius in summer, so now there is a doubt - Why indoor temperature is lower than outdoors? The secret weapon is deep well water and reservoir water.

Pan’an County is the hometown of Shiitake in China, however, for local cultivators, high temperature is the dreadful enemy during the process, temperature is the primary factor that masters the growth of Shiitake. In general cases, the temperature range for growth of spawn should be controlled at 15-28 degrees Celsius, superior range should be at 22-28 degrees Celsius. When temperature exceeds 28 degrees, mycelia lead tardy growth tendency while they gradually die when temperature rises to above 35 degrees Celsius.

For summer-type Shiitakes, rotten stick is undoubtedly The Gate of Hell, this kind of phenomenon commonly occurs from the end of July to August. During that time, Shiitake sticks are in fully-grown status and in transitional period to physiological maturity. High temperature results in barriers to Shiitake cultivation while it brings about sundry fungi. Aiming at this fact, one of local mushroom farm that covers 90 mu of area in Pan’an County established a spray system which is to mix deep well water, pond water and reservoir water, especially deep well water that derives from 160 meters depth of deep well. In summer, the minimum temperature only reaches at 10 degrees Celsius or so.

Cooling effect in Shiitake greenhouse is evident after cultivators spray the mixed water. In spite of consecutive high temperature outside of greenhouse, inner temperature range is at 20-25 degrees Celsius all the time. Besides, the sprayed water could reflow back to pond for reuse, which immensely saves water source.

For the non-ideal case, meaning no deep well water, cultivators could choose high-temperature resistant Shiitake variety, set shade net and strengthen the ventilation of mushroom house so as to bring inner temperature down.
 

At present, in Black Fungus R&D Center of Xichuan Village, Zuoshui County, Shanxi Province of China, Mr. She, one of local technical mavens, is carefully providing training course on cultivation technology of White fungus.

According to know, by mode of “Enterprise+Base+Farmers,” and relying on local deep-rooted enterprises, over 850 poor households have been driven to embark on mushroom industry. By the end of 2018, the expected output value comes to 52.5 million CNY, 2580 population could be directly encouraged to launch into the industry and generate annual per capita incomes of over 10,000 CNY.

"Let's grow together"

Recently, two giant Morel mushrooms cultivated by a Chinese women farmer gain focus.

Common Morel mushrooms are small in size, especially for wild Morel. After the weighting, the largest one is 500 kg or so.

“I am so excited to show these two Morels in my farm, and i infer that they are resulted from excessive nutrition,” introduces the farmer passionately, going on that next step, instead of selling them at a high price, she proposes to carry on in-depth research so as to exploit a new cultivation path in the future.

Over the years, Aihui District constantly enhances the support on mushroom industry, by political bias and financial support, growers’ enthusiasm has been effectively stimulated while large-scale development has been obtained.

Through 18 years of hard work, scale of Dabing Mushroom Factory has been expanded from 600 square meters to over 22,000 square meters, Oyster, Nameko, King oyster, Monkey head and other 10 varieties have been developed. In 2017, the factory outputted 600 tons of fresh mushrooms and 50 tons of dried mushrooms, products were not only sold well to Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other characteristic provinces in China, but also were exploited to Russian market.

In Dabing Mushroom Factory, main raw materials used for mushroom cultivation are straws, corncobs and other agricultural wastes, which realizes recycling waste materials, brings about benefits for growers while eliminating environmental pollution.

“Within the factory, recycling price of corncob is at 30-40 CNY per cubic metre, and recycling price on corn and straw reaches 300 CNY per ton,” introduces owner of Dabing Mushroom Factory warmly, adding that last year, he purchased straws that cover 22,500 mu of land, by the end of 2018, crop straws that occupy 30,000 mu of land are in expected purchase.

Not long ago, through powerful combination, advantage complementation, a strategic cooperation agreement was signed between Jiangsu Pinpinxian Biotechnology Limited Liability Company and Chengdu Huiguyuan Biotechnology Limited Liability Company in an effort to build an omnibearing, multidimensional and full industry-chain strategic cooperation relationship of mushroom market.

Founded on April, 2016, Chengdu Huiguyuan Biotechnology Limited Liability Company sets mushroom production, R&D and marketing into one, the company holds large-scale, standardized, industrialized and anniversary base which mainly outputs Enoki, Seafood, White beech and Shimeji mushroom. Now, Huiguyuan Company occupies 128.24 mu of land, holds 120 million CNY of investment and it is constructed in two phases.

According to know, the project which daily outputs 60 tons of Hypsizigus marmoreus and 20 tons of Yellow Enoki mushroom is in planned launching on 25th, April. After its operation, products are mainly sold to Northwest and Southern part of China, targeted marketing channels refer to large-scale wholesale markets, retail and processing factories.
