Yongji Button Mushrooms

Yongji Button Mushrooms

　　Button mushrooms, also known as common mushrooms, are white in color, crisp and tender in texture, and delicious in taste, with high nutritional and medicinal value. Yongji City makes full use of crop straw, livestock and poultry manure (the main raw and auxiliary materials for button mushroom cultivation), and eighteen asparagus processing enterprises to establish an industrialized service system integrating spawn cultivation, cultivation promotion, processing, and sales, as well as a business model of “farmers to company, company to market.” In 2000, the city had a total substrate area of 150,000 square meters, producing 1,500 tons of fresh mushrooms. At the same time, the annual production of white oyster mushrooms can reach 200 tons, shimeji mushrooms 200 tons, and Yongji’s specialty king oyster mushrooms 50 tons. (Yongji)
