Qianxi County also enjoys the good reputation of “The County of Chestnut Mushroom in China,” and “China’s Characteristic Town of Chestnut Mushroom.”  

In recent years, Dexing Village, Longxi County, Gansu Province of China has been closely embracing the mode of “Specialized cooperative+Base+Grower,” and positively pushing Shiitake industry.

With the fund support of 3.2 million CNY, 32 Shiitake greenhouses have been successively built and gross amount on stick comes to 440,000 bags. Besides, 14 tons of Shiitakes have been produced in two quarters of 2017 while sales income obtained above 800,000 CNY.

Recently, staffs working in Xinyuan Mushroom Cooperative of Jiyuan Village, Jinxi County, Jiangxi Province of China have been engaged with the arrangement of Black fungus sticks.

Jinxi County is one of China’s biggest characteristic agricultural counties, cultivation area on fruit trees of honey pear, orange, mulberry and others totals over 700,000 mu, above 500,000 tons of waste branches are abandoned per year, which provides a mass of raw ingredients for mushroom cultivation.

According to local agricultural department, every year, farmers fully utilize bamboo crumbs, saw dusts, straws, husks and other agricultural wastes to cultivate over 60 million bags of Shiitake, Black fungus and other mushrooms, average income obtains above 70,000 CNY per household. This kind of cultivation mode has also realized ecological and economic benefits.

At present, in workshop of Xinghe Company, rows of King oyster mushrooms are manifesting a magnificent scene.

Xinghe Biotechnology Co., LTD is a modernized agricultural enterprise that mainly engages in R&D, cultivation and marketing of King oyster mushroom and other mushroom varieties, it is one of listed companies in Xichong County, Sichuan Province of China.

Xinghe Company applies agricultural technological innovation during the process of mushroom production, agricultural straws are used as raw materials for mushroom production, waste residues are then utilized again as the fuels, which not only eliminates production costs, but also greatly reduces pollution caused by straw burning.

“Main ingredients for mushroom production refer to straws, corncobs and saw dusts in our company, during peak production period, daily fruiting volume comes to over 120 tons,” introduces one of technical staffs in Xinghe Company, going on that the whole process is non-pollution while implying intellectualized, ecological and natural mode.

Over the years, Xinghe Biotechnology Co., LTD has been pursuing a green road that highlights turning wastes into wealth, in the meanwhile, mushrooms produced from the company have been also successively exported to Vietnam and other oversea nations and favored by customers.

Over the years, along with the full development of taxonomic study, new varieties of Entolomataceae have been successively found in South China, which indicates the constant maturity of fungus taxonomic research techniques and launches new window for exploiting fantastic fungus world.

According to related principal from Hubei Yuguo Gu Ye Co., LTD, not long ago, the company’s 4 robots formally debuted for Shiitake sorting, which indicates China’s first application of robot sorting within Shiitake industry.
