Villagers in Wenchuan, Sichuan try to grow Morchella and boldly try Bengfu Road.

"In the past, I only picked up morel mushrooms in the mountains. I didn't expect that they could be planted artificially." At noon on April 5, in a field in Zhangpai Village, Mianqi Town, Wenchuan County, under a piece of black sunshade net, morel mushrooms are emerging and growing happily, attracting many villagers nearby to see "strange."

In the greenhouse, Xu Xingjian, a grower, is picking mature morel manually. Under his leadership, the author also goes into one of the greenhouses. The land in the greenhouse was artificially divided into four compartments, each compartment grew a lot of green weeds, but a closer look, weeds one by one like "sheep belly"-shaped fungi have emerged, the highest has been more than 10 cm.

Xu Xingjian checks the growth of morel

"These can be picked and marketed. We have been picking them for about 10 days." Xu Xingjian carried a small basket in one hand and a small knife in the other. When he saw mature morel mushrooms, he gently pulled them up, cut off the roots with soil with a small knife, and then put them into the basket. "Be gentle when picking, especially when plucking. Don't destroy the vaccine of morel and affect the growth of other small bacteria." Xu Xingjian told the author.

It is no wonder that Xu Xingjian is so careful. "Now the price of morel just listed is about 100 yuan per catty." He took a palm long morel told the author, this is probably worth more than 10 yuan oh.

"At first, I didn't think of planting morel. By chance, I had a bet with a friend before I thought of planting it. These morels were planted last year, and the investment in the entire greenhouse has exceeded 200,000." Speaking of the experience of planting morel, Xu Xingjian felt a lot.

Since making a joke bet with friends, Xu Xingjian has been thinking about developing morel cultivation. "Morchella has high economic value. Zhangpai Village also produces Morchella. If the trial is successful, it will definitely make money." Xu Xingjian said, Just began to develop, He still feel the stone across the river, Internet search data, To the field investigation, At first he did not believe that he can grow morel fungus, In Zhangpai village rent 13 acres began to try planting, Achieved success.

a thriving morel.

The author calculated an account: 13 acres of land, according to Xu Xingjian's statement, 1 mu can produce 400 catties of morel, retail price per catty about 120 yuan. If the harvest is good and the sales volume is good, you can earn more than 600,000 yuan a year, which can be described as "money scene" bright.

"I groped for morel completely by myself, and it's hard to describe the bitterness." Xu Xingjian admitted frankly. In the process of trial planting, Xu Xingjian constantly groped for experience, mastered suitable soil structure and climatic conditions, mastered different conditions, good and bad conditions, growth conditions, yield and quality of morel, etc. of open-air planting and greenhouse planting, and he became an expert in planting.

Xu Xingjian said that morel has high economic benefits and is a good project to become rich. In the future, they will expand the planting area year by year, enlarge and strengthen the morel industry, make scale, and boost more farmers to increase their income and become rich.
