Little mushrooms grow new hope

"an edible mushroom greenhouse invests about 75000 yuan and is picked in spring and autumn. The annual output can reach 12000 jin, with a price of 2.5 to 3.50 yuan per catty. In this way, the income can be about 40,000 yuan a year, and the cost can be recovered in less than two years, which is much better than going out to work." Recently, the reporter walked into the greenhouse contracted by Fang Wei in Wang Village, Yincheng Town, Changzhi County. he was so busy that he stored the mature mushrooms according to size and then handed them over to the village cooperative for unified sale.

With the continuous improvement of living standards, there are more and more ingredients on the dining table. Pleurotus ostreatus is very popular because it is rich in mannose, trehalose and various amino acids. It is precisely to see that the sales prospect of Pleurotus ostreatus is good, and many villagers, like Fang Wei, plan to contract the greenhouse to grow Pleurotus ostreatus. After going to Shouguang, Shandong and other places to observe and study, 14 double-spore mushroom sheds were built in the village, and the net income of the sheds reached more than 20,000 yuan at the end of the year, basically achieving the goal of building sheds and income in that year. Fang Wei said that when he saw the first batch of Pleurotus ostreatus mature, he was not to mention how happy he was. Generally speaking, the output of autumn mushrooms is higher than that of spring mushrooms, with a daily output of about 2000 jin. The standard size of Pleurotus ostreatus is 3 to 5 centimeters, and sales are quite popular.

Since last year, Changzhi County, relying on farmers' cooperatives, has promoted family planting of Pleurotus ostreatus throughout the county, increased financial subsidies for farmers who built or renovated edible mushroom greenhouses, and strengthened cooperation with scientific research institutions and colleges and universities. carry out research on high-yield cultivation techniques, development of new resources, transformation of scientific and technological achievements and product research and development, and train strain production personnel, scientific research service personnel, and technical backbone of farmers in stages and batches. At present, the Pleurotus ostreatus industry has developed into a leading industry for farmers to shake off poverty and become rich in the southern mountainous area of the county.

At the same time, Changzhi County has also built an edible mushroom industrial park integrating edible mushroom strain cultivation, bag production, factory greenhouse cultivation, processing and sales. On the basis of planting double spore mushrooms, experimental cultivation of new strains such as Pleurotus eryngii, Flammulina velutipes, black mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms has been carried out to further broaden the channels for increasing farmers' income.
