In the autumn, in the greenhouse of the Agaricus Mushroom Planting Base of the Huayuan Gathering Point Agricultural Development Company in the tea garden ping village of the border town of Huayuan County, a flower of agaricus mushrooms is protruding from the round head, tan fungus hat, and chubby thick legs, and mushrooming like mushrooms after the rain.
"I've been growing agaricus mushrooms for 4 years, and my income is getting more and more every year." Li Shuai, chairman of the company, who is picking agaricus mushrooms with the villagers, said that from May to mid-October is the best growth period for agaricus mushrooms, which can be picked in 8 batches continuously, and it is expected to harvest 60,000 kilograms of fresh mushrooms this year, achieving sales revenue of more than 1.4 million yuan.
In 2015, Li Shuai, a post-90s college student who graduated from Hunan Agricultural University, gave up the opportunity to work in the city and chose to return to his hometown to start a business. With his own knowledge and wisdom, he has successively engaged in frog breeding, seedlings, flowers and grass planting, and earned more than 200,000 yuan in two years, becoming the "first bucket of gold" he harvested from his own entrepreneurship.
"Agaricus mushroom, also known as Brazilian mushroom, is a valuable edible mushroom, delicious taste, rich nutrition, high medicinal value, domestic and foreign markets are very popular..." Li Shuai said that through the investigation of Fujian and other places, he found that the growth cycle of agaricus mushroom is short, the picking time is long, the economic benefits are good, and the local climate is suitable for the growth of agaricus mushroom.
Li Shuai picks agaricus mushrooms in the greenhouse.
"Frog farming is risky, the market is unstable, and the existing 100 acres of gardens are basically formed, as long as a few people manage, do not have to spend more energy." Li Shuai, who has many ideas and a lively mind, germinates the idea of planting agaricus mushrooms. Therefore, he developed the agaricus mushroom industry together with his uncle Lin Shiyong, who had worked in a agaricus mushroom production enterprise in Fujian.
In February 2018, Li Shuai registered and established huayuan judian agricultural development company, rented 1.5 acres of land near the bus station in biancheng town, introduced strains from the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and used corn stalks as raw materials to try to plant agaricus mushrooms. In that year, the test base produced more than 8,000 kilograms of fresh mushrooms, which not only recovered the cost, but also made a profit of more than 60,000 yuan.
The first taste of the sweetness of the agaricus mushroom industry, Li Shuai's entrepreneurial confidence doubled. In 2019, he raised more than 900,000 yuan to transfer 20 acres of land in Tea Garden Ping Village, and built a controllable greenhouse with a temperature-temperature steel frame greenhouse, 5 bamboo greenhouses, and an area of 8,000 square meters of agaricus mushroom planting base, and put into production in the same year.
"In 2020, the base will produce 48,000 kilograms of fresh mushrooms, and after drying and packaging, the shelf life will be extended, and it will also be easy to store and transport." Li Shuai said that despite the impact of the epidemic, through online and offline grasping, all the products were eventually sold to Chongqing, Guangdong and other places, achieving sales of more than 1.2 million yuan.

"The same shed, after picking once in the morning, continue to pick in the evening." Lin Shiyong introduced that if the picking is not timely, the fungus cap of the agaricus mushroom will spread out and affect the quality, and during the peak period of picking, more than 20 villagers must be arranged to work overtime every day to pick. Walking into the processing shed, I saw the villagers cutting, sorting, baking and packaging the fresh agaricus mushrooms they had just picked. "From raw material production, seed sowing, pipe cultivation, picking, to baking and packaging, these links provide employment opportunities for local farmers, and there are more than 40 villagers working in the base all year round, with a per capita monthly income of more than 2,000 yuan." Li Shuai said.
Along the way, Li Shuai also encountered many difficulties. In the early stage of entrepreneurship, in addition to the lack of funds, but also due to immature technology, lack of management experience, etc., agaricus mushroom growth is uneven, poor quality, can not sell at a price; When baking, due to the lack of temperature control, there have been many times the phenomenon of roasting and roasting, resulting in a lot of losses... "Planting agaricus mushrooms, the key is to master the technology." Over the years, Li Shuai has studied and studied while practicing and exploring, breaking through the technical difficulties of key links and becoming a "soil expert" for local agaricus mushroom cultivation. "Not long ago, the Longtan town government was preparing to set up an agaricus mushroom planting base, and I was invited to be their technical consultant." Li Shuai said happily. Agaricus mushroom cultivation is not only quick and profitable, but also a sustainable ecological industry. Li Shuai introduced that the cultivation of agaricus mushrooms uses crop straw and chaff as culture medium, which can avoid crop incineration pollution, and the fungus residue can be directly returned to the field, forming a virtuous circle.
The industry is growing, the company is growing, and Li Shuai's dream is also expanding. "I have now transferred 40 acres of land in Jiaolong Village, Longtan Town, and strive to build a production and operation enterprise integrating the cultivation, planting, processing, refrigeration and sales of strains within 3 years, developing a series of high-end foods such as agaricus solid drinks and concentrated powders, and driving more farmers to increase their income and become rich." Li Shuai said confidently.
