According to know, mushroom varieties cultivated in Longzhou County include Straw mushroom, Oyster mushroom, Pleurotus geesteranus, Shiitake, Black fungus, Ganoderma and others, over 8 mushroom enterprises and cooperatives are absorbed in the county.

From Jan to Aug, area of mushroom cultivation has reached 100,000 square meters in Longzhou County, gross output came to 400 tons while total output value manifested 13 million CNY, which respectively implies year-on-year growth of 42.8%, 60% and 62.5%, mushroom industry of Longzhou County is evidently experiencing qualitative leap.

According to Kunming Institute of Botany from Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently, MengSong Entolomataceae, a magnificent mushroom variety was surprisingly found in Menghai County, Yunnan Province of China.

Entolomataceae holds corn or discoid cap, yellow brown mycelia and spordium that carry the micron size of 4-8 × 4-6. Besides, Entolomataceae shows wild distribution, the variety could be found in selva, temperate forest, high mountain forest or even north pole.

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.

Through “Eyes” that are made of cameras, it only takes 0.8s for robot to accurately recognize the size, shape and figure of a Shiitake, and robots are also able to distinguish from different Shiitake varieties and put them into corresponding baskets. In addition, the ability of working for 24 hours is another new highlight.

“Shiitake sorting requires a lot of labor forces, while hard employment is always the gripping problem that hinders the development of Shiitake deep-processing industry,” introduces Mr. Lei Yuguo, the chairman of Yuguo Company, adding that the robots’ accuracy rate of recognition comes to 99.7%, which exceeds over 10% compared with artificial work while indicating over 2 times of sorting speed.

Bamboo fungus is a kind of rare mushroom, its development mode implemented under bamboo forest shows bright future. According to know, till now, 2 Bamboo fungus bases have been established in Jiangshan City, gross cultivation area has obtained 50 mu, output value reached over 500,000 CNY, another new highlight on income growth has been manifested under bamboo forest.

Over the years, rural credit cooperative of Jianhe County, Guizhou Province, China has been actively devoting itself into poverty alleviation via mushroom industry.

As the main supporting unit of the cooperative, Guizhou Chunhui Modern Agriculture Co., LTD mainly engages in facility construction, technical training, strain R&D, stick production, processing of mushroom products and mushroom marketing. Now, daily mushroom output could reach 6 tons or so in the company.

“Now, we hold over 600 mushroom greenhouses, with the standard design of 7 layers and mu stacking amount of 8000-10,000 sticks, average mu output obtains 6000-10,000 kg,” introduces Mr. Wang, CEO of Chunhui Company, adding that with the present market price of 7 CNY per kg, mu output value is expected to attain above 28,000 CNY.

Till now, mushroom project between the two sides has been launched in 3 phases with the gross investment of 350 million CNY, after the operation, annual output could reach 100 million sticks, output value achieves over 2 billion CNY while 6000 people could be directly encouraged to end poverty and earn extra earnings.

Recently, industrialized production of Morel strain obtained its success in Ganzi State, Sichuan Province of China, by the end of this year, the expected output on Morel strain reaches 1.5 million bottles.

In order to accelerate the development of mushroom industry, in 2015, Sichuan Jinkangyuan Agricultural Technology Co., LTD was introduced to the state, after two years, the first strain field of Morel which holds annual output of 3 million bottles of strain was established.

“Building our own strain field highlights cost reduction and guarantee of transportation quality safety. This year, the unit price of Morel strain is at 5.5 CNY per bottle, 250 CNY of input has been eliminated in each mu of land while 750,000 CNY of costs could be saved in 3000 mu of land,” introduces related principal in passion.

During China’s 13th Five-Year Plan, Ganzi State intends to vigorously push Morel industry and develop Morel base that covers 35,000 mu of land. By the end of 2017, total area for Morel cultivation is going to obtain 12,000 mu, which effectively drives masses to end poverty and increase earnings.

Over the years, Guxiang Mushroom Cooperative of Songyuan City, Jilin Province of China has been enhancing mushroom production to increase the fortunes of masses.
