Spring is getting warmer and the harvest is on schedule. Walking into the morel mushroom planting greenhouse in Guoliugou Village, Kongcun Town, morel mushrooms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, holding up a brown "small umbrella", the strain is thick and slender, and the growth is gratifying. Carrying buckets and knives, pickers carefully use scissors to run through the bottom of the mushrooms, picking and loading morel mushrooms into buckets.
Morel mushroom is a kind of edible and medicinal mushroom, and the surface of the cap is concave and convex into a honeycomb shape, which resembles a sheep's tripe and gets its name. Its taste is delicious and nutritious, and it is known as the "king of mushrooms" and the reputation of "meat among vegetarians". It is characterized by a short planting cycle, fast results and good returns.
"Our Guoliugou Village Xianfeng Agricultural Service Farmer Professional Cooperative will build 4 greenhouses to grow morels in 2022, and the price is also relatively high, with a wholesale price of more than 60 yuan a catty, a retail price of more than 80 yuan a catty, and a price of 700-800 yuan after drying. Now we have more than six or seven acres of land, and one acre of land has now exceeded more than 1,000 catties, and this year our village has collectively increased its income by more than 200,000 yuan. Yin Xunying, a member of the two committees of Guoliugou Village, said.
Growing morels requires a high level of soil, temperature and humidity, with an optimal temperature between 8 and 18 degrees. "Our morel mushroom planting mode is imitation of wild planting, the temperature and humidity in the facility greenhouse is completely intelligently controlled, and fog-making equipment is attached, just like the cloud-shrouded living environment in the deep mountains and forests of Yunnan-Guichuan, which greatly improves the quality of morels, and the quality is close to 90% of wild morels after purification and analysis of the institute. "Wang Zhen, technical consultant of Tengfei Morel Research Institute, introduced us with mature morels. "In this state, the nutritional value has reached a peak, and the proportion of mushrooms has also been greatly increased. The morels in this shed have now been harvested twice, and the harvest will continue until the end of April. Our company will accept all the morels in Guoliugou Village, and at the same time, they are also exported, and the supply exceeds demand. In the later stage, we will also carry out drying production, deep processing and utilization of mushroom stems and technical research. ”
The morel mushroom industry has enjoyed a bumper harvest, which not only enriches the "vegetable basket" of the masses, but also puffs up the "money bags" of the masses. "I am a villager of Guoliugou Village, during this period of morel mushroom harvest to work, close to home, do not delay serving the elderly and picking up children, give 80 yuan a day, work is not tired, very good. Villager Li Kaijun said happily.
Kongcun Town develops characteristic industrial planting according to local conditions, so that "small mushrooms" become a "rich umbrella" to strengthen the collective economy of the village and drive the employment and income of the people.
Walking into the planting base of Jinan Far East Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., full of mushrooms, the reporter was immediately attracted by the layers of fresh and attractive mushrooms in the greenhouse. "We built an intelligent temperature-controlled shed, and now we are making oyster mushrooms. There are about 30,000 fungus sticks in one shed, and there are currently four sheds, and the output can reach about 150,000 catties. After a few days, the weather is warmer, and the mushroom can be picked all the time out of season, and the price of mushrooms will be high. Cui Yuandong, the person in charge, said happily. On the other side, workers are carefully selecting plump and fresh ripe mushrooms in rows, picking and bagging them, and fine finished products.
Kongcun Town has made precise efforts to incorporate the edible fungus industry into the agricultural development industry, forming a characteristic edible mushroom industry chain of morel mushrooms in Guoliugou Village in the east, fungus in Wangxiaotun and Sunzhuang villages in the middle, and chicken leg mushrooms and oyster mushrooms in Beimaoyu in the west. "Edible fungus industry, short cycle, high efficiency, occupies less area, development prospects are very broad, has always been the leading industry of our Confucian village agricultural industry adjustment, since the 90s of the last century, not only built China's largest soil cave chicken leg mushroom township, and now enrich the cultivation varieties of edible mushrooms, morels, oyster mushrooms, Xiuzhen mushrooms, straw mushrooms, fungus, etc., are also in our Confucius villages in the villages of full flowering. Zhang Genping, head of the vegetable station in Kongcun Town, said. In the next step, Kongcun Town will continue to be based on reality, link agriculture with farmers, take the characteristic edible fungus industry as a booster for farmers to increase income and get rich, start the brand, open a new key to rural revitalization, and add impetus to the realization of rural revitalization.
