The "high yield" of mushrooms in Wenling, Zhejiang is difficult to "harvest".

"the price of mushrooms in 2014 is still OK. In good times, it sells for nearly 10 yuan a catty, and even ordinary ones have 6 to 7 yuan per jin. But in 2015, it is different. In good times, one catty can only be sold for 4 to 5 yuan, but now it has dropped to 3 yuan per jin. " A few days ago, Chen Xueliang, chairman of Xinxin Medicinal Mushroom Co., Ltd., Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, told reporters that mushrooms had a bumper harvest in 2015, but the price fell by more than half.

It is understood that Wenling has been growing mushrooms for more than 30 years, mainly Agaricus bisporus. In recent years, the planting area of mushrooms has become larger and larger, which is estimated to have exceeded 5 million square feet (1 square meter is about 9 square feet). Every year, starting from the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Wenling mushrooms are on the market and can be sold until around the Qingming Festival the following year. Analysis of the reasons for the setback of mushroom prices, on the one hand, by the strong competition of mushrooms in Jiangsu, on the other hand, Wenling mushrooms are high-yielding but there are no fixed buyers, mushroom farmers can only sell mushrooms cheaply, making the price lower and lower.
