Button mushrooms

　　Button mushrooms are a premium agricultural product of Wuxuan County. In 2003, the county had a cultivation area of 1 million square meters, with a total output of 10,000 tons. The main cultivation areas are distributed across towns such as Wuxuan, Tongling, Ertang, and Mabu. Since 2000, the county has vigorously promoted pollution-free, standardized, and industrialized production, leading to steady improvements in both product quality and yield. Over 90% of the products are purchased by processing companies such as Yulin Oriental Food Company and Singapore’s Liu Sisters Company for export to European and American markets. The cultivation of button mushrooms has become a key pillar industry and a highlight of rural economic development in Wuxuan County.
