At present, it is a critical period for mushroom sticks to be put on shelves in the greenhouse. Entering the Baijiaxing Edible Mushroom Professional Cooperative Production Base in Wolong Town, Pingquan City, Hebei Province, bags of mushroom sticks are stacked one after another in the mushroom greenhouse, emitting the unique sweet aroma of mushrooms. More than 10 villagers are busy sorting and loading shiitake mushroom sticks into vehicles, and delivering them to various mushroom sheds for shelving. In recent years, we have used the newly promoted '0912' new variety, and technological innovation has led to an increase in the profits of mushroom farmers. "The director of the cooperative, Yu Haichao, said that the cooperative has now developed into more than 600 mushroom greenhouses, attracting more than 60 households to settle in, and driving more than 180 surrounding farmers to find employment. Relying on its unique climate and resource advantages, edible mushrooms have become a dominant characteristic industry in the city. How to further improve quality and efficiency has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved for high-quality development. After in-depth research, Pingquan City has started with the cultivation of edible mushrooms and solved the pain points of industrial development through technological innovation in the production and cultivation of bacterial strains. Implementing the "Pingquan Edible Mushroom Seed Preservation and Maintenance System" project, preserving the quality and purity, not only enhances the resistance of the strains, but also increases the quality rate and yield of shiitake mushrooms. Taking the '0912' variety as an example, shiitake mushrooms are large in size, thick in flesh, and round in shape. Each standard bag can increase production by 15% to 25%, and the rate of high-quality mushrooms has increased by 40%. "Sun Yanping, Vice President of Pingquan Edible Mushroom Industry Technology Research Institute, introduced that through the cultivation and promotion of new strains, the transformation from empirical mushroom cultivation to scientific mushroom cultivation has been achieved. Last year, the first few batches of mushrooms were sold for five or six yuan per kilogram, while the later produced mushrooms were sold for two or three yuan per kilogram. After calculation, the income per 10000 sticks of mushrooms can be around 30000 yuan. "Yu Haichao said," Mushrooms sell well, and farmers have a high enthusiasm for planting. This year, the cooperative has built a new base and built 80 mushroom greenhouses, attracting 19 households to settle in, which can at least drive more than 60 villagers to increase their income and become rich. Technology empowers and accelerates industrial development. In recent years, the edible mushroom industry in Pingquan City has continuously stepped up to new levels. The city has developed more than 30 varieties of eight major series, including shiitake mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and apricot mushrooms, and cultivated more than 40 leading enterprises in the production and processing of edible mushrooms. The edible mushroom industry attracts 120000 jobs annually, and small shiitake mushrooms have grown into a large industry. (New News Agency)
