Where is the origin of Tricholoma matsutake distributed?

Tricholoma matsutake has very strict requirements on the growth environment, and the growth process is also very slow, which usually takes 5 to 6 years. At present, there is no successful precedent of artificial cultivation in the world. Japan is at the forefront of artificial cultivation of Tricholoma matsutake in the world. Since the beginning of the last century, artificial cultivation has not been realized. Let's take a look at the distribution of Tricholoma matsutake.

Distribution of producing area of Tricholoma matsutake

Tricholoma matsutake is endemic to Asia, mainly distributed in Japan, Korean Peninsula and China's Shangri-La, Chuxiong, Yanbian, Taiwan and other regions. It is reported that there are varieties of Tricholoma matsutake in the United States and Europe, but the yield is low and the quality is poor. Among the global production areas of Tricholoma matsutake, Shangri-La in China has the highest production of Tricholoma matsutake, accounting for about 70% of the total output of Tricholoma matsutake in China and 33% of the total global output.

1. Domestic origin of Tricholoma matsutake: the main producing areas of Tricholoma matsutake are Yanbian area of Jilin Province, Mudanjiang area of Heilongjiang Province, Yunnan and Xizang.

2. The international origin of Tricholoma matsutake: the international origin of Tricholoma matsutake mainly includes Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Myanmar, the United States, Mexico and other countries. The shape of Tricholoma matsutake in each country is not exactly the same.

Producing environment of Tricholoma matsutake

Tricholoma matsutake has very strict requirements on the producing environment, it can only grow in the primeval forest without any pollution and human intervention, the spores must form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of pine trees, and the age of symbiotic tree species must be more than 50 years. in order to form hyphae and mycelium ponds, and rely on broad-leaved forests such as cypress and oak to provide nutritional support to form healthy fruiting bodies.

Tricholoma matsutake must get enough Rain Water before it is unearthed, and it must get enough light immediately after birth. in addition, temperature, insect injury, mycelium damage caused by man-made violence and other factors will also have a direct impact on the growth of Tricholoma matsutake. It can be said that the birth of each Tricholoma matsutake is a miracle of creation.

In recent years, the global output of Tricholoma matsutake is decreasing year by year. At present, the average annual output of fresh Tricholoma matsutake in China is only 2000 tons. Excluding old antler, young antler, residual antler and single-leaf forest Tricholoma matsutake, the high quality Tricholoma matsutake is less than 1000 tons. All processed into dry products is about 60 tons, much less than the output of Cordyceps sinensis. Among them, the length of Tricholoma matsutake exceeding 16cm is less than 1 ton. Some experts appeal that if we do not quickly strengthen the protection of Tricholoma matsutake resources, we will lose Tricholoma matsutake forever in the near future.
