You know what? The total output of edible fungi in China accounts for more than 70% of the world's total output. The total output of edible fungi in the planting industry is second only to that of grain, vegetables, fruits and oilseeds.

 

There are abundant wild fungi resources in China. At the same time, more than 70 kinds of edible and medicinal fungi have been cultivated artificially in China. The main varieties are Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, Auricularia auricula, Agaricus bisporus, Flammulina velutipes, Volvariella volvacea and so on. The rare varieties are Lentinus edodes, Tea Tree Mushroom, Agaricus blazei, Grifola frondosa and Morchella. In recent years, the industrialized production of Flammulina velutipes, abalone mushrooms, seafood mushrooms and bisporus mushrooms has become more and more abundant. The market of medicinal fungi such as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, Poria cocos and Gastrodia elata has developed rapidly. The deep processing level of edible fungi products has been continuously improved. At present, there are nearly 500 kinds of condiments, health products and medicines. The industry has entered a new stage of development.

 

According to data from China Customs and the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2015, China exported 507,000 tons of edible (medicinal) fungi products (dry and fresh mixed calculation). Dried mushrooms, dried agaric and canned white mushrooms are exported for more than US$100 million. China's mushrooms, fungus and Tremella have been exported to nearly 100 countries and regions in Asia, America, Europe and Africa.

 

Under the guidance of a series of policies and policies of the government, the edible fungus industry is facing unprecedented good opportunities. The industrial production of edible fungi has gradually matured, realizing the development of large-scale automation and standardization. With the development of production and processing technology, the consumption of edible fungi has increased. Specialized market of edible fungi has emerged. There are abundant circulation modes of edible fungi, and the volume of domestic and international trade has increased year by year.

 

Current situation of mushroom industry in China

 

The scale of industrialization base is growing day by day

 

At present, there are more than 500 counties with an annual output value of more than 10 million yuan, more than 100 counties with an employment population of more than 20 million, forming a large number of well-known edible fungi production bases in China, such as Dongning County of Heilongjiang Province, Xiuyan County of Liaoning Province, Pingquan County of Hebei Province, Xixia County of Henan Province, Qingyuan County of Zhejiang Province, Suizhou of Hubei Province and Gutian of Fujian Province. In some counties, the output value of edible fungi is nearly 10 billion yuan, and many regions have achieved precise poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation through the development of edible fungi industry.

 

These main production bases have changed the rural economic outlook by developing edible mushroom industry, increasing farmers'income and achieving agricultural efficiency. Thousands of edible fungi planting villages and characteristic towns have been established throughout the country, which has become a new bright spot in the development of agriculture, countryside and farmers.

 

Leading enterprises are developing rapidly

 

In recent years, with the rapid development of edible mushroom industry and the enhancement of consumers'awareness of quality and safety consumption, the production mode of edible mushroom in China has been transformed and upgraded in time. Some traditional workshop-based family cultivation is being replaced by standardized and factory-based production mode. There are many enterprises engaged in production, processing and trade in China. There are nearly 500 large-scale enterprises in factory production alone, and 5 listed enterprises on the motherboard. Large enterprises are relatively concentrated in Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong and other provinces.

 

Among them, more than 100 tons of fresh mushrooms are produced daily, such as Shanghai Ficus Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Tianshui Zhongxing Fungus Industry Technology Co., Ltd. and Wuhan Ruyiyiyiyi Group Co., Ltd. and more than 20 enterprises. Their products include bisporus mushroom, Flammulina velutipes, crab mushroom, almond abalone mushroom, Bailing mushroom, etc.

Increased Organizational Degree of Professional Cooperatives

 

Edible mushroom professional cooperatives are a new type of cooperative organization. There are more than 4000 professional mushroom cooperatives in China. These professional cooperatives realize standardized production by standardizing themselves and establishing an effective benefit-linking mechanism with mushroom farmers. They enhance the risk-resisting ability of mushroom farmers, and enable them to share the multi-level and multi-link of mushroom production and circulation. Value-added income.

 

Enhancing the Strength of Scientific and Technological Innovation

 

The rapid development of edible fungi industry can not be separated from the progress of science and technology. A large number of scientific research and teaching institutions, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Shanghai Institute of Edible Fungi, the Kunming Institute of Edible Fungi, Jilin Agricultural University and Huazhong Agricultural University, have established scientific and technological bases and professional personnel for edible fungi industry, which provide intellectual support for Driven by scientific and technological workers in the industry, the application of high and new technologies in the field of edible fungi, such as promoting fine varieties, replacing cultivation materials, improving cultivation techniques, improving facility technology, new materials, automatic control and so on, is becoming more and more widespread. The government attaches great importance to the role of science and technology. The total investment in science and technology is increasing year by year. Chinese counterparts have carried out many academic exchanges and cooperation with foreign institutions of higher learning, which has greatly enhanced China's Industrial Science and technology innovation ability.

 

The distribution network of edible fungi is becoming larger and larger

 

The distribution of edible fungi in China has formed a pattern with wholesale market and market as carriers and farmers'brokers, professional cooperatives, dealers and processing enterprises as the core. There are nearly 100 wholesale markets for edible fungi in China, including more than 60 wholesale markets with annual trading volume exceeding 100 million yuan. These markets are crisscrossed and become the circulation center of edible fungi in China. At the same time, some major production base counties, such as Qingyuan County and Gutian County, have established the Bohai Commodity Exchange of Lentinus edodes and Tremella spot electronic trading, which has realized the transformation from traditional mode to modern marketing.

 

Achievements in recycling

 

Edible mushroom industry is a recycling agriculture that turns waste into treasure. In recent years, the Chinese Edible Fungi Association has continuously increased its propaganda and promotion of circular economy, and organized the industry to use various forms of experience summary and exchange, "Agricultural and Animal Waste - Food"
