Less investment, quick results and high returns. In recent years, Shandan County has increased the efforts to attract investment and support for edible mushroom enterprises, organized and mobilized the broad masses of cadres and masses to develop the edible mushroom industry, and explored the edible mushroom development model of "company + base + cooperative + peasant household". Created a new way to get rid of poverty and become rich.

At present, walking along the mountain villages and towns in Shandan County, the edible mushroom greenhouses in the fields are particularly eye-catching. "this mushroom is now our treasure of getting rich." Zhou Xiang, a grower in Gaozhai Village, Weiqi Town, who is picking mushrooms in the greenhouse, said that the benefit of his growing mushrooms is getting better and better year by year. Take the current batch of Lentinus edodes as an example, the purchase price is 8 yuan per kilogram, and each shed can produce at least 10, 000 kilograms. Excluding the cost, the annual income of the three sheds is at least 100000 yuan.

"in the final analysis, I would also like to thank the government for its support." Zhou Xiang said that some villagers in other villages had tried to grow mushrooms before, but failed due to technical, sales and other problems. In 2015, under the guidance of the government, he and the leading enterprises of edible fungi in the county. Gansu Aifu Agricultural Development Co., Ltd got in touch. The company not only helped him build a mushroom shed, but also provided reliable bacteria and technical services. After the mushroom was harvested, the enterprise recycled it door-to-door. In the first year, Zhou Xiang recovered all the costs.

In recent years, according to the way of "leading enterprise + base + cooperative + peasant household" and the operation and development mode of unified supply of mushroom materials, unified technical standards, unified demonstration mushroom shed, unified product recycling, unified product processing and unified brand sales to edible mushroom growers, Aifu Company has led and guided people in Shandan and even surrounding cities and counties to plant edible fungi, so that a large number of people have embarked on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

Through several years of development, the edible mushroom industry with low investment, quick results and high returns has become an "iron" crop in Shandan. Shandan County takes this as an opportunity to create an excellent development environment, make every effort to promote the development of edible mushroom industry, and strive to create a "strong county for the development of edible mushroom industry in Hexi Corridor". A leading group for the coordination of the development of the edible mushroom industry was set up to guide and coordinate the development of the edible mushroom industry. A series of programs and relevant support policies such as the "incentive and subsidy measures for Modern Agricultural Development in Shandan County in 2017" have been formulated and promulgated to open up a "green channel" for the edible mushroom industry.

In view of the lack of funds, technology and talents in the development of edible mushroom industry, Shandan County adopts the method of "bank loan, investment attraction, peasant household financing, financial supplement, and project investment" to raise funds through various channels. Since 2010, the county government has allocated 30 million yuan of special funds every year to support modern agriculture dominated by edible fungi, which increased to 40 million yuan in 2016 and 50 million yuan this year. The scope of subsidies covers mushroom sheds, mushroom sticks, environmental control facilities, brand building, quality and safety, product acquisition and many other links. In order to enable farmers to master the technology of edible fungi, experts such as professors from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been hired as consultants for industrial development, and a number of edible mushroom professionals have been introduced to provide technical support for the smooth development of the industry.

Walking into the mushroom planting greenhouse of Gansu Aifu Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., the iron frame more than 2 meters high is covered with mushroom sticks, and many fresh mushrooms are covered with mushroom sticks. The person in charge of the company's promotion department told reporters that fungi can be produced all the year round, the output is guaranteed, and the income is very stable.

In recent years, Shandan County has guided enterprises to base themselves on a high starting point and take the road of industrialization and scale, with full potential for industrial development. According to the characteristics of edible mushroom varieties, resource conditions, production status and technological advantages, we should conscientiously plan the development layout of edible mushroom industry and strive to construct the development pattern of edible mushroom industry. gradually build a specialization, mechanization, standardization and intensive development model of edible mushroom industry with "industry leading, R & D center, production base and marketing enterprise".

At the same time, Shandan County increased the construction scale of edible mushroom production base, and by supporting leading enterprises, a factory edible mushroom production base of 2000 mu was built in the edible mushroom factory production demonstration park, which was mainly composed of Pleurotus ostreatus, seafood mushroom and apricot abalone mushroom. By supporting the facilities of the strain factory, culture material fermentation field and stick farm of Gansu Aifu and Shandan Jin Shuiyuan enterprises, we can improve the supply capacity of edible mushroom cultivation raw materials, and strive to produce 5 million bags of all kinds of edible mushroom cultivation strains per year. 100000 tons of straw rot fungus culture materials and 25 million sticks of wood rot fungus rods.
