Hometown of edible fungi
Since the founding of New China, edible fungi in eastern Fujian have developed rapidly, forming standardized, intensive and factory production, becoming one of the pillar industries for the export of foreign exchange and rural economic development in eastern Fujian, and making great contributions to rural poverty alleviation and local fiscal revenue. It has developed into an edible mushroom producing area with the largest total output, the most complete varieties and the largest number of employees in China. Gutian County, pingnan county County and Shouning County are known as "Hometown of Edible Mushrooms in China", "Hometown of Summer Mushrooms in China" and "Hometown of Flower Mushrooms in China".
The cultivation of edible fungi in eastern Fujian has continuously increased the scientific and technological content. After more than 30 years of development, the production of edible fungi has continuously broken through in quality and quantity. Ningde Agricultural School established the subject of agricultural microbiology, integrating the research, teaching and practice of edible fungi, and enrolled students from the whole province. Counties (cities) have also set up 30 public and private research institutes, seed production plants and strain distribution stations 1000. In Gutian County alone, there are 13 private scientific research institutes, 42 "soil experts" with primary or above professional titles, as well as 130 large mushroom producers and 40,000 experts. The major scientific research achievements of the whole city include: 1980, the first experiment of mushroom indoor moving to outdoor cultivation technology in Fu 'an, and the screening of "82 1 1" strain, which increased the yield by 34.6% compared with the original one, and won the third prize of national scientific and technological progress and the first prize of provincial "comprehensive development in mountainous areas", which enabled our city's mushrooms to develop rapidly and become Fujian Province. 198 1 year, Gutian planted tremella in plastic bags, creating a "horizontal bag planting tremella method", which greatly increased the output compared with bottle planting; In 1983, cottonseed hulls were successfully substituted for sawdust seed ears, so that the output of Gutian Tremella 1984 exceeded 2,000 tons, accounting for 80% of the total output of tremella in China, making it the highest in China and known as the "hometown of tremella". 198 1 year Gutian's "outdoor sawdust bag cultivation technology" was successful, which increased the output by 3 times and shortened the production cycle by 2/3 compared with the sectional wood cultivation method. This achievement won the second prize of provincial scientific and technological progress and the gold medal in the national Spark Plan project achievement exhibition; 1988 pingnan county successfully carried out the "Study on Off-season Cultivation Techniques of Lentinus edodes" by taking advantage of its geographical advantages, which enabled Lentinus edodes to enter the annual production. This achievement reached the international advanced level and won the third prize of provincial scientific and technological progress; 199 1 Shouning and Pingnan successfully carried out the experiment of "artificial adjustment to promote the formation of mushroom", which realized the leap from quantitative growth to qualitative growth of mushroom production, and formed a production scale with an annual output of 200 million barrels and an output value of 600 million yuan in the whole city. This achievement reached the international advanced level and won the third prize of provincial scientific and technological progress; 1999 Gutian bred a new strain of "990 1" tremella, which made tremella get natural flavor without sulfur whitening. 1992 Fu 'an carried out the "new method of cultivating Volvariella volvacea by pasteurization", which was successful. Compared with the original cultivation of Volvariella volvacea, the yield of the mushroom house was increased by 2-3 times, which enabled the mushroom house to be used annually (mushrooms-Volvariella volvacea-Volvariella volvacea-mushrooms), and this achievement won the third prize of municipal scientific and technological progress.
The prosperity of edible fungi in Ningde City has promoted the development of Mindong Canning Factory, more than 300 dehydration factories, more than 200 freezing and fresh-keeping factories, more than 100 edible fungi equipment processing factories, 5 sterilization pesticide plant and 130 franchised raw and auxiliary materials stores, and there are tens of thousands of distributors all over the country. Gutian County alone has100000 mushroom farmers and more than 5000 "mushroom bosses". Since 1985, mushroom exports have ranked first in the country. Gutian county 1998 edible fungi accounted for13 of the county's total agricultural output value. Gutian County 1990, the edible fungus market, covering an area of 6,636 square meters, has not only an edible fungus product trading hall, but also supporting service facilities such as raw and auxiliary materials, machinery and equipment, business negotiation rooms, etc., with an average daily trading number of more than 5,000 people, with an average daily turnover of more than 9,000 kilograms of mushrooms and more than 6,500 kilograms of tremella, making it one of the top ten professional markets in China. 199 The total output of edible fungi in Ningde accounted for14 of the whole province, and the output value accounted for nearly13 of the whole province. Products are exported to Hongkong, Taiwan Province, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, CIS and other places.
