Fushan Shiitake Mushrooms

Fushan Shiitake Mushrooms

　　　The Taifu Town of Linli County introduced talent and technology from Zhejiang to develop and produce the “Fushan” brand shiitake mushrooms. These mushrooms are rich in aroma, tender in texture, delicious in taste, and offer health and beauty benefits as well as anti-cancer properties, making them a premium product among green foods. The fresh mushrooms hit the market every November. After careful selection, processing, drying, grading, and packaging, they are sold across the country. The town produces up to one million kilograms of fresh mushrooms annually, which can be processed into 100,000 kilograms of dried mushrooms and packaged into one million bags. Following the Asian financial crisis, mushroom exports have increased year by year, and market prices have continued to rise. After China’s accession to the WTO, the production and export of edible fungi will welcome a new spring, becoming a true sunrise industry. Currently, the town is using the development of edible fungi as a breakthrough point, striving to scale up (to 10 million bags), improve quality (diverse varieties and superior quality), and enhance profitability.
