Liuzhou Shiitake Mushrooms

Last updated 2026-11-15 — Shiitake mushrooms are mainly produced in Sanjiang, Rongshui, and Jinxiu in Liuzhou, among which Rongshui has the highest yield, producing up to 35,000 jin of shiitake mushrooms annually. The "Yaoshan Shiitake" from Jinxiu and the "Huaibao Shiitake" from the Sanfang and Zhongzhai areas of Rongshui have long been renowned as traditional specialties. Shiitake mushrooms are a forest understory product, often cultivated by planting fungal logs in high-altitude dense forests to allow for natural growth. In recent years, greenhouse cultivation has gradually developed. Shiitake mushrooms are not only delicious but also help lower blood pressure and prevent an increase in cholesterol levels. They are in high demand both within and outside the region, often selling out quickly. (Liuzhou)
