Yunhe Shiitake Mushrooms

　　Yunhe Shiitake Mushrooms are a specialty of Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. Yunhe is one of the main production areas for shiitake mushrooms. Its favorable natural ecological environment and green farming methods result in high-quality, safe-to-eat mushrooms.

　　The history of shiitake mushroom production in Yunhe dates back many centuries. Over 800 years ago, local mushroom growers pioneered the cultivation of shiitake using the primitive “tree slashing” method. With the introduction of the “log-pure culture spawn cultivation technique,” Yunhe Shiitake Mushrooms gained a unique edge and secured their place in both domestic and international markets. Due to their green, pollution-free quality, the mushrooms became highly popular among Shanghai residents, leading to their designation as an officially supplied agricultural product to Shanghai in 2010.
