　　Jiangle County in Fujian Province is further expanding the Giant Scaly Cap Mushroom industry.

　　 First, by promoting area-based cultivation. In recent years, aiming to develop green food, Jiangle County has maintained an annual production area of over 3,500 mu for Giant Scaly Cap Mushrooms. The cultivation bases have gradually expanded from traditional areas such as Wanquan, Nankou, and Huangtan to all 13 townships across the county.

　　 Second, by adopting advanced technology. Currently, after years of research and promotion, the main cultivation materials for Giant Scaly Cap Mushrooms in the county have shifted from traditional mixed sawdust to mainly alternative materials such as straw, bamboo chips, miscanthus, and rice husks. This approach not only fully leverages the county’s resource advantages but also achieves “green” production. Additionally, the implementation of three-dimensional cropping — growing mushrooms (Giant Scaly Cap), tobacco, and rice — not only enables intensive land use and increases farmers’ income but also effectively suppresses the occurrence of tobacco mosaic disease.

　　 Third, by ensuring production through orders. By the end of February, the county had harvested 6,125 tons of fresh Giant Scaly Cap Mushrooms, most of which were purchased by Jianle Food Company. Thanks to the order-based production model, market prices have continued to rise, reaching an average of 4,400 yuan per ton, with total output value amounting to 26.95 million yuan, resulting in significant income growth for local farmers.
