Nanjiang Black Fungus

Nanjiang Black Fungus is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Black fungus is a saprophytic mesophilic fungus. Its mycelium can grow between 6–36°C, but thrives best at 22–32°C; fruiting bodies can form between 15–27°C, though optimal conditions are 20–24°C. In Henan Province, Lushi County has become known for its Lushi black fungus as a geographical indication product due to its favorable natural environment. The mycelium can grow in cultivation materials and log segments with a moisture content of 60%–70%, but fruiting body formation requires a wood moisture content of over 70% and relative air humidity of 90%–95%. The mycelium grows normally in the dark, while the fruiting stage needs light intensity of 250–1000 lx. As an aerobic fungus, it prefers a pH of 5–5.6. There are various cultivation methods for black fungus, including log cultivation and bag cultivation with substitute materials.
