China was the earliest cultivator of edible mushrooms and still has one of the richest edible mushroom industries in the world. The most commonly seen edible mushrooms in the average kitchen are as follows: shiitake mushrooms, straw mushroom, common mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms. The characteristics of these agricultural products are not all the same. They have different maturation periods, require different environments, etc.
"We own 11.4 hectares of edible mushroom farms and advanced agricultural industrial land in Xinji City, Hebei, as well as 6.7 hectares of mushroom laboratory and experimental planting areas in the forest. Our main product varieties include lingzhi mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms." This is according to a spokesperson of Xinji City Wanlong Edible Mushrooms Co., Ltd.
"We currently sell our mushrooms under our own registered brands 'Mingmo' and 'Feilin' in wholesale markets and supermarkets in first and second tier cities throughout China. The selling price of edible mushrooms has been quite stable in recent years."
"The main reasons for the stable price are as follows: first, the industry has been through many years of development and hard work. The edible mushroom industry in China is mature and standardized operations guarantee smooth, organized market processes. Second, we have integrated our cultivation center and plantation areas to guarantee product quality from beginning to end."
