In one of local mushroom gardens, there are 8 high-standard heat-preservation mushroom greenhouses that cover over 1600 square meters, now, annual mushroom output has obtained nearly 1 million bags in Huasitang Village.

For years, Baiyun District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province of China has been accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional agriculture. In aspect of characteristic industry, the district has introduced agricultural sightseeing gardens and built 3 mushroom greenhouses. In line with three-dimensional ecological technology cultivation mode, indoor area of Morel cultivation has been expanded to 2000 square meters.

1. During the fruiting period, mushroom farmers should be careful with the employment of pesticides. It is prohibited to bring pesticides into contact with mushrooms or it may cause food contamination.

2. When you find that mushrooms distribute on fungus bed, be sure not to apply any pesticides that hold strong toxicity, pungent odour and long residual period.

3. When controlling diseases and pests, be sure to choose agents in accordance with various targets. For instance, DDVP holds fumigation and touch-out efficacy, it shows special effect to adult flies and springtails while manifesting poor killing-ability to mites. Octyl mercaptan refers to a kind of high-efficient, low-toxic, low-residual and organic phosphorus pesticide, in addition to showing special effect to springtails and flies, it is also efficient in killing mites.

4. Try to choose vegetative pesticides and microecologics such as Pyrethrum.

5. Protect the natural enemies and do not abuse chemical pesticides.

Recently, Mr. Tang, one of researchers from Edible Mushroom Institute of Wensu County, Sinkiang of China has been engaged with the picking work of wild-imitation Hericium (Monkey head mushrooms).

According to know, Wensu County is located in heartland of spring water where holds superior natural environment and unique climatic conditions and fits for cultivation of Oyster mushroom, Black fungus, Drumstick mushroom and others, for years, local mushroom institutes have been actively exploiting under-forest mushroom cultivation.

Through repeated scientific experiment and cultivation, trial cultivation of under-forest Hericium eventually obtained its success, which implies a booming road for local masses to increase incomes and grow rich.

For recent years, Luanping County, Hebei Province of China has been stimulating the development of mushroom industry toward a large-scale, standardized and intensive tendency through base construction, leading-enterprise promotion, scientific and technological development and other efficient measures.

According to know, so far, an ecological recycling agricultural demonstration garden that covers 24,000 square meters has been newly built while a Button mushroom factory that holds annual output of 2400 tons has been established in Luanping County.

On Thursday April 19 2018, the National Mushroom Day (DNP) is organized for the sixth time by Scelta Mushrooms, Delphy, LTO Mushrooms and Mushroom Valley. The theme is 'accelerating the mushroom world'.

The latest edition of DNP was organized at the mushroom farm Sikes in Ysselsteyn.

Other topical themes are: how do we bind our (future) employees to the mushroom industry through new forms of education and training? What are HighTech and ICT capabilities for our production process?

Various companies present their innovations, such as champost processing techniques. What binds all subjects is the idea: 'How can the Netherlands remain the leader in mushroom farming globally?'. Achieving this means collecting opportunities together. This is the credo of co-organizer Mushroom Valley, a platform of cooperative companies within the mushroom sector, which focuses on training, knowledge and promotion.

Rapid development is only possible with strong cultivation companies with knowledge. This knowledge is ample available during DNP. The issues are related to cultivation data and production performance, and the communication with and training of staff of mushroom farms and suppliers. Growers are motivated to continue, in cooperation with colleagues, suppliers or knowledge institutions, in knowledge development and practical innovation on their business. There is room for presenting innovations in the sector.

Niek de Ligt, trainer within Delphy Mushrooms: "In the coming years, the changes within the farms will accelerate. Hooking up is therefore a necessity for cultivation companies and its suppliers. That's why we started this year with the "Champignons, de toekomst" course. This course will help both employees in the primary sector as well as in the periphery for a promising future."
