In the past few days, in the mushroom shed of Dabchak Village, Garutu Town, Wushen Banner, clusters of white mushrooms shaped like golden monkey heads have "drilled" out of the mushroom sticks in a staggered manner, exuding bursts of attractive "mushroom fragrance".
"This is the 'sand lion's mane mushroom' independently developed by Wushenqi, which is delicious, and we have been trying to cultivate it since last year, and now we have expanded the cultivation scale. Our lion's mane mushrooms can harvest six or seven stubbles a year, and they grow very well. Yang Yubin, secretary of the party branch of Dabchak village, said.
How did the lion's mane mushrooms, which were supposed to grow in temperate broad-leaved forests, come all the way to Wushenqi, and how did they adapt to the sandy environment?
It turns out that the secret that allowed the lion's mane mushrooms to make their home in a foreign land is hidden in the specially customized mushroom bags beneath them. Different from the humid natural environment in the temperate zone, the cultivation package of "Hericium erinaceus sand land" is filled with raw materials with sand willow sawdust as the main ingredient, and then after the full fermentation of organic matter, the fungus bag becomes the exclusive "petri dish" of "Hericium erinaceus sand".
The sand willow in the desert can be used as "nourishment" for lion's mane mushrooms, and this innovative idea comes from the doctoral workstation in Garutu Town, Wushenqi.
At the beginning of the establishment of the station, the researchers of the doctoral station saw the flat stubble Salix in the Mu Us Sandy Land that was "abandoned" by the villagers, and came up with the idea of using Salix sawdust as a medium to cultivate Lion's Mane mushroom. "Salix salix needs to be leveled once after 3 to 5 years of growth, and if the salix is not used well, it is easy to cause a waste of resources, our research team has broken through the key technology of cultivating Lion's Mane mushroom with Salix sawdust under sandy conditions and succeeded, which is the first innovation in cultivating Lion's Mane mushroom in Mu Us sandy land. Sansar Zhula, a scientific researcher at the doctoral station, said.
Technology helps lion's mane mushrooms "grow" in the sand across natural boundaries. So far, Wushenqi has cultivated more than 50,000 packs of "sand lion's mane mushrooms", sold more than 300 catties of dried lion's mane mushrooms, and generated an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan. At the same time, the "industrial chain" of Lion's Mane mushroom is also further extended, and the "Lion's Mane Mushroom Jujube Cake" produced by Wushenqi and local food factories has been put on sale, which has not only driven the employment of some villagers, but also produced certain economic benefits, and also launched the brand of "Hericium erinaceus in sand". In the next step, Wushenqi will also promote the cultivation technology in the whole banner and the surrounding areas, form a characteristic industrial consortium, develop in the direction of "cultivation + deep processing + sales" integration, continue to improve and strengthen the characteristic industry of "sand lion's mane mushroom", and bring new hope for the revitalization of the countryside and the increase of income of the people.
A lion's mane mushroom connects the new ecological construction and industrial development road of "gathering scientific research talents, increasing the value of desert resources, and increasing the income of farmers and herdsmen", and the innovation of scientific research achievements also makes the green use of waste plant resources in the sandy land, "turning decay into magic". On the road of desertification control and promoting rural revitalization, Wushenqi actively explores, continuously cultivates and expands the forest and sand industry, extends the industrial chain, improves the scientific and technological content, builds a green brand, and upgrades the traditional "sand control and sand control" to "sand protection with sand", and has embarked on a new path of sandy economic development, and truly realized the transformation of the industrial structure and become rich.
"We will adhere to the scientific development of the forest and sand industry, reverse the ecological construction of forest and sand and the protection and utilization of resources, and vigorously develop ecological agriculture, ecological industry, ecological culture, and ecological tourism, so as to achieve a win-win situation of ecological livelihood and sand control. Wushenqi Garutu Town Deputy Party Committee, Mayor Qingmei said.
