Learned from Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Nanyang City, Henan Province of China, in 2017, value of mushroom export came to 880 million USD in the city, which accounted for above 30% of agricultural food products of Henan Province.

Embraced on trade barrier breaking on mushroom export technology, and enhancement of quality of mushroom products, Nanyang Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau insists on intensifying scientific research, by now, over 10 scientific research projects have been developed in the bureau, meanwhile, in order to promote the transformation of scientific payoffs, a modernized mushroom laboratory which holds over tens of millions CNY has been built while the quality of personnel and technical service quality and efficiency has been constantly improved.

In 2015, Dongfeng County, Jilin Province of China started to vigorously support mushroom industry, by the end of 2017, 216 mushroom households have been developed, 30.24 million bags of mushroom have been cultivated, of which Black fungus occupies 24 million bags.

On aspect of Stropharia rugoso-annulata cultivation, cost and output on each greenhouse respectively reaches 6000 CNY and 2000 kg in case of fermentation of corn stalks, rice husks and deer dung, to calculate by unit price of 7 CNY per kg, output value on each Stropharia rugoso-annulata greenhouse attains 14,000 CNY while profits come to 8000 CNY.

This year, Dongfeng County intends to focus on cultivation of Black fungus, Shiitake, Stropharia rugoso-annulata and Nameko, strives to build above 50 high-standard demonstration gardens, 1000 mushroom greenhouses, expand cultivation scale to 400,000 square meters, attain 12,000 tons of gross output and above 100 million CNY of output value. By 2020, number of high-standard demonstration garden and greenhouse is going to respectively reach 100 and 2000 while the expected gross output and output value obtains 24,000 tons and over 200 million CNY in respective.

Now, in mushroom base of Gan’e Village, Jianhe County, Guizhou Province of China, farmers are engaged with picking work of Stropharia rugoso-annulata.

Since 2017, Jianhe County has been positively guiding local farmers to draw on local resources such as weed tree, saw dust, rice husk, straw, cottonseed hull and other agricultural and forestry residues to develop the cultivation of Shiitake, Oyster, Stropharia rugoso-annulata and other varieties. By now, gross cultivation scale has reached over 3000 mu, the cultivation mode has not only effectively recycled residues, lifted economic benefits, but also protected ecological environment and offered jobs for surplus rural labor.
