Lichuan Edible Fungi

　　Edible fungi are pollution-free, natural, green health foods that are highly favored by consumers both at home and abroad. Lichuan County has developed dozens of varieties of edible fungi, including tea tree mushrooms, straw mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and king oyster mushrooms. The leading product, the tea tree mushroom, is delicious to eat, with a crisp stem, rich aroma, and pure flavor. It also offers medicinal benefits such as nourishing yin and yang, dispelling dampness and promoting urination, protecting the liver and yin, fighting cancer, lowering blood pressure, and preventing aging. The “Rifeng” brand tea tree mushroom was approved as a “Green Food” by the China Green Food Development Center in August 2001.
