The black soil is covered with white pebbles, and the gray "flowers" are quietly blooming among the pebbles. Two workers are carefully picking large chunks of "flowers" and putting them into the bamboo baskets around them.

In the chestnut greenhouse in Hewa Village, Baimiaozi Township, Qianxi, Hebei Province, mushroom farmer Wang Shulan said, "this is chestnut mushroom, the scientific name Grifola frondosa. Despite its inconspicuous growth, it can be rich in nutritional value."

24 jin heavy "King of Chestnut Mushroom"

Qianxi is a famous "hometown of Chinese chestnut". The total annual output value of Chinese chestnut is 800 million yuan, and the per capita net income of Chinese chestnut is more than 2000 yuan. In recent years, on the basis of the continuous growth of the chestnut industry, farmers began to cultivate chestnut mushrooms under the chestnut tree, which greatly extended the chestnut industry chain.

It is understood that chestnut mushroom is originally a wild strain accompanied by chestnut trees, which is rich in nutritional value, but little is known because of its small yield. Over the years, the state has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in artificial cultivation research. Through the unremitting efforts of the technical staff of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the scientific research results of the "Chestnut Mushroom imitating Wild cultivation method", which uses abandoned Chinese chestnut branches as the main raw material, has passed the technical appraisal, obtained the national patent, and has been included in the "Spark Program" of the State Science and Technology Commission and promoted to all parts of the country.

Chestnut mushrooms have a high yield. Chestnut mushrooms weighing more than ten jin are very common, with a yield of 2000 jin per mu.

Chestnut mushroom, also known as Grifola frondosa, is a kind of medical and health fungi rich in amino acids, protein and a variety of trace elements, and according to the quality Inspection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, the nutrition and taste of artificial chestnut mushrooms are better than those of Lentinus edodes, which is known as "king of mushrooms". It is an extremely precious high-grade edible mushroom.

The planting area of chestnut mushroom in warm water village has reached 200 mu, making it the largest village in the township. Rain Water is abundant this year, and chestnut mushrooms are prolific. Chestnut mushrooms weighing more than ten jin are very common, with a yield of 2000 jin per mu. The selling price of chestnut mushroom is 14 yuan per kilogram, and the picking price is 20 yuan per kilogram. According to 30% picking and 70% sales, the income per mu is nearly 15000 yuan. Planting chestnut mushrooms not only enriches the content of folk tourism, but also enriches local farmers.

Wang Shulan told us that her family now has 24 arched sheds, with an average annual net income of more than 10,000 yuan. The planting of chestnut mushrooms has greatly increased the family income, and life is very prosperous. "at present, there are 207households in our village, of which 70 are engaged in chestnut mushroom industry, with a cultivated area of more than 300mu and an annual net income of 4 million yuan."

At present, chestnut mushroom has become an important industry for farmers in Qianxi to get rich and increase their income. Chestnut mushroom is artificially cultivated in 17 villages and towns throughout the county, including more than 50 characteristic villages and specialized villages, and 6 professional cooperatives of chestnut mushroom. There are more than 120 demonstration gardens of chestnut mushroom cultivation mainly in small arch shed, medium arch shed, out-of-season solar greenhouse, forest and fungus cultivation, with an annual output of more than 5000 tons and an income of more than 100 million yuan. In 2012, Qianxi chestnut mushroom was certified by the national geographical indication of agricultural products. Not long ago, Qianxi County was awarded the title of "hometown of Chinese chestnut mushroom" by China Edible Mushroom Association. (Li Miaoxia Fu Wenhao)
