China News Service, Hukou, Jiangxi, February 4 (Wang Jian, Wang Linhua, Zheng Feihua) As the Spring Festival approaches, in the greenhouse of the vegetable base in Mabu Village, Dalong Township, Hukou County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, large bulbous mushrooms poke out their round bulbs. Heads, clusters in the east and clusters in the west, sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, ushering in a good harvest.

  The mushroom is a grass-rot fungus with the scientific name Tricholoma matsutake. It is known as the "King of Fungi". It mainly uses crop straw as the raw material for planting. It can not only recycle straw and turn waste into treasure, but also improve the soil. Improve soil organic matter. In the past few years, Jin Xiong, the head of the base, returned to his hometown to start a business and planted vegetables such as peppers, radishes, cabbage, tomatoes, and Chinese cabbage, wondering if he could introduce some crops to fill the "empty period" of the land. After a period of understanding and preparation, I chose to plant the species Sphaeroides globus.

  Compared with other mushrooms, the cultivation of Sphaeroides macrophylla is simpler and easier to get started. "Both oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms require aseptic operation. For farmers, there are many steps that need to be paid attention to and are more cumbersome. But the big bulb mushroom does not need to be used, and its cultivation method is more acceptable." Jin Xiong said about the big bulb mushroom. The "reason for selection" of mushrooms. The base's bulbous mushroom production is expected to reach 3,000 kilograms per mu, with an average output value of more than 15,000 yuan per mu.

  At the black fungus planting base in Wangsi Village, Dalong Township, Hukou County, neat rows of mushroom sticks are covered with black fungus. Under the sunlight, the color is dark and translucent. The villagers shuttled among the fungus sticks, busy picking, carrying, and drying the black fungus.

  "We have planted 10 acres of black fungus and planted 80,000 fungus sticks. We can produce 6 batches a year. It is expected that the annual output of dry fungus per mu will be more than 1,400 kilograms." Yin Bihuan, secretary of the village party branch and director of the village committee, told reporters , the black fungus harvested in winter has good quality and relatively high price. Currently, the sales channels are stable and the product is in short supply.

  Black fungus is a traditional health food. Wangsi Village regards black fungus as a characteristic industry that can help farmers increase their income, helping village collectives and villagers embark on the road to increasing income and becoming rich, and continuously consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation. According to Yin Bihuan, after the black fungus is planted and picked, the soil will be deeply plowed in time, and the discarded fungus sticks will be returned to the field as organic fertilizer, which will provide sufficient fertilizer for planting rice, achieve "recycling" to increase production, and ensure that both "bacteria and rice" receive.

  In recent years, Hukou County has actively tapped the resources of rural talents, gathered the strength of rural talents, and guided them to play an organizational and advisory role, communicate, coordinate, and demonstrate in aspects such as the development of characteristic industries, environmental sanitation improvement, and grassroots social governance, so as to jointly draw a new era.
