Huang Qinghe, a big grower of edible fungi.

In Xiting Village, Jimei, Xiamen, there is a large edible mushroom grower who uses cold storage cultivation technology to make Flammulina velutipes can be produced all the year round.

Huang Qinghe began to grow mushrooms in the production team in the 1970s. After the household contract system, he began to cultivate edible mushrooms on his own. Over the past 30 years, he has planted many kinds of edible mushrooms, such as tea tree mushrooms, pig belly mushrooms, and chicken leg mushrooms. But in the end, he chose to use cold storage to cultivate out-of-season Flammulina velutipes.

Huang Qinghe, a mushroom farmer: there are fewer people planting Flammulina velutipes in off-season, the yield is more uniform, and the economic benefit is higher.

Flammulina velutipes is a kind of edible fungus with low temperature, and the normal cultivation season is from December to February next year. Huang Qinghe uses cold storage cultivation technology to make Flammulina velutipes can be produced all the year round. More than 1 million bags of out-of-season Flammulina velutipes are cultivated every year, with an output value of nearly 3 million yuan. Of course, another important reason for Huang Qinghe's choice of off-season cultivation of Flammulina velutipes is that the industry needs a relatively small area, and under such tight land conditions in Xiamen, Huang Qinghe feels that there is a great "money way" to develop off-season cultivation of Flammulina velutipes.
