Nowadays, the standard of living has improved, and more people are pursuing a higher quality of life, and they are becoming more and more particular about eating. Like now, many people are tired of eating big fish and meat, but they are more interested in a lot of "wild game" in the countryside. In order to taste the early, many people are even willing to pay a high price to buy.
Among them, wild mushrooms have always been a sought-after commodity, and many people often go to the mountains to pick in summer and autumn, and because of the lack of this condition in the city, they can only spend money to buy. Among them, the wild mushroom species in southern China are very rich, and places such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are rich in a large number of wild mushrooms. Today I want to introduce this wild mushroom to you, because the shape resembles a monkey's head and got its name, in the past there were many in the mountains, and a large number of farmers went into the mountains every year to pick. Nowadays, wild ones are rare and can sell for more than 300 yuan a pound. Can farmers grow?
It is estimated that some foodies and friends have already stepped on what this wild mushroom is, it is a very famous lion's head mushroom in the wild mushroom market. Some places also call it Monkey Head Fungus, Monkey Mushroom, Monkey Mushroom, Monkey Head, from its name, are inseparable from monkeys. This is because the shape of this wild mushroom looks like a monkey's head, which looks very similar from a distance, so it is called "Lion's Head Mushroom".
This wild mushroom has been a treasure in China's wild mushrooms since ancient times, and as early as ancient times, it was listed as one of the "four famous dishes" alongside bear paws, bird's nests and fish bones. Now there is also a folk saying of "mountain treasure monkey head, seafood shark fin", of which "monkey head" refers to dishes made of lion's head fungus, which shows the high evaluation of lion's head mushroom in ancient times.
The distribution of Lion's Head Mushroom in China is still relatively wide, not only in the southern region, but also in Heilongjiang, Jilin and other northeast regions there are also a small number of Lion's Head bacteria distribution. Folk evaluation of lion's head mushroom is very high, take it as a treasure in the edible mushroom, on the one hand, because the lion's head mushroom tastes very delicious, mellow and delicious, just like eating meat, so it also has the reputation of "vegetarian meat". On the other hand, because the nutritional value of Hericium angustifolia is very high, it belongs to the fungi of medicine and food, and its nutritional value is higher than that of most wild mushrooms, otherwise it would not have been listed in the "four famous dishes" in ancient times.
It is also because the lion's head mushroom is very popular in the market, and many people go into the mountains every year to look for it, so the number of wild lion's head mushrooms is now getting smaller and smaller. Its price in the market is also rising, and the current wild lion's head mushroom can generally sell for more than 300 yuan a catty in the market. However, lion's mane mushrooms can also be artificially grown, but the price is much cheaper than the wild, generally 100-150 yuan a catty, which can be said to be in short supply.
This is because lion's mane mushrooms can not only be eaten as food, but also can be developed into many products, such as the now famous lion's head biscuits, which are well known. In addition, it can also be developed into wine, beverages, tea, medicines, etc. At the same time, lion's mane mushrooms are not only very popular in China, but also sought-after goods abroad. Therefore, the application prospect of Lion's Mane Mushroom is broader than that of other wild mushrooms, and the market demand is also greater. For farmers who know how to grow wild mushrooms, Lion's Mane mushroom is still worth planting, and its application prospects are very broad.
Warm tips: any planting and breeding projects are risky, even if it is a project with good prospects, before planting, you must also examine the local market and sales channels, and combine your own actual situation, so as to avoid losses!
