In the greenhouses of the morel mushroom planting base of Dongshun Fungi Industry in Duanqiaopu Town, Dong'an County, the first batch of morels are growing gratifyingly. The lovely morels break through the soil, the caps are plump and fat, and the stalks are smooth as jade, and the villagers shuttle between the ridges to pick fresh morels.
Duan **, the person in charge of the morel mushroom planting base of Dongshun Fungi Industry: Now the morel mushroom is the picking period, and its temperature should be controlled at 6 to 16, and now the temperature in our shed is 104. It is suitable for the growth of this morel.
Morel mushroom cultivation has the characteristics of short cycle, quick effect and good income. Its delicious taste, tender taste and rich nutrition are known as the "king of fungi" and are favored by consumers. Therefore, Duan ** is very optimistic about the prospects of the morel mushroom market.
In 2021, through the "matchmaking" of Duanqiaopu Town**, he chose to transfer land to grow morels in the local Zhumu Town community.
Duan**, the person in charge of the morel mushroom planting base of Dongshun Fungi Industry: After the preliminary investigation, I found that the climate of this place is very suitable for planting morels, so I transferred 50 acres of winter fallow fields to develop the morel mushroom industry.
In order to grab the "fresh" market, Duan ** began to build a greenhouse in early October last year, and the varieties were selected to plant six sister morels. Due to the effective measures such as shading and temperature control, the harvest began in early February this year, and it matured and went on the market a month earlier than before. According to the current mushroom production situation, the yield per mu can reach 800 catties, and fresh morel mushrooms can be sold for about 120 yuan per catty.
Duan **, the person in charge of the morel mushroom planting base of Dongshun Fungi Industry: Our base is rushing to the "fresh" market this year, with an output of about 40,000 catties and an output value of 2 million.
The planting mode of staggered production in winter and spring harvest has further strengthened the local "greenhouse economy", which not only realizes agricultural efficiency, but also drives the income of surrounding villagers.
Duan**, the person in charge of the morel mushroom planting base of Dongshun Fungi Industry: In the next step, I plan to expand the planting area to 200 acres, develop and manage the morel mushroom industry well, and drive more villagers around to increase their income and get rich.
