Detailed Explanation of the Harvesting and Processing Methods and Uses of Lingzhi (Reishi Mushroom)
Harvesting and Processing: Lingzhi generally requires 50-60 days from inoculation to harvest. When the edge of the cap stops growing and brownish-red basidiospores appear on the hymenium beneath the cap, it indicates that the fruiting body has matured, and it can then be harvested. Cut it off from the middle of the stipe with a small knife, taking care not to crack the cut surface, then spread it out to air-dry or dry it at low temperature. If collecting spore powder, place clean plastic sheeting or smooth, clean paper under the fruiting bodies on the cultivation rack, collect with a bristle brush, and after the spore powder has been sun-dried and dried, store it in plastic bags for medicinal use.

What are the processing methods for Angelica sinensis? Read this article to find out
After harvesting, shake off the soil, pick out the rotten roots, remove the remaining leaf stalks, and after the moisture has slightly evaporated, tie them into flat bundles weighing 0.5~1 kg and place them in a smoking shed. Inside the smoking shed, build a 130 cm high rack, lay bamboo strips on top, and place the angelica bundles on it alternately flat and upright, with a thickness of 30~50 cm. Use soybean stalks, wet poplar, willow wood, etc. as fuel; after lighting, spray water so that it only produces smoke and no open flame, smoke them to color, until the surface of the angelica turns reddish red, then switch to coal fire or firewood (grass) fire and smoke for about 10 days, then turn over

Origin Processing Methods and Technical Key Points for Angelica sinensis
The processing of Angelica sinensis directly affects the quality and medicinal efficacy. Because fresh Angelica sinensis contains more than 60% water and the medicinal component volatile oil, if processing is not timely or not done well, it will become moldy and deteriorate. Processing methods and procedures for Angelica sinensis: 1. Sorting and bundling. The recovered Angelica sinensis should be sorted promptly, and roots that are rotten, especially water-rotted, should be picked out to prevent the spread and infection of water rot. The selected Angelica sinensis is spread under the eaves in a dry, ventilated place to air-dry for about 7 days so that the moisture evaporates and the roots become soft, then they are bundled with willow twigs or tree bark. Each bundle of fresh

Key Harvesting and Processing Techniques for Angelica sinensis (Danggui) (Part One)
(1) Harvesting For direct-sown plants, dig in mid-to-late October of the second year; for seedlings raised in a nursery and then transplanted, dig in mid-to-late October of the same year, when the plants have withered and turned yellow. Digging too early results in roots that are not plump and solid, with low yield and poor quality; digging too late means the soil has already frozen, making digging difficult and prone to breaking the roots. Before harvesting, first cut off the above-ground stems and leaves and sun-dry them for 3-5 days, so that the roots become fuller and more solid; then carefully dig out the entire root. (2) Processing After harvesting, angelica sinensis must not be piled up. First clean off the soil, choose a high, dry, well-ventilated spot, spread the roots out to dry until the roots become soft, or sort them

Detailed Explanation of Angelica sinensis Harvesting and Processing Techniques (Part 3)
For autumn direct-seeded plants, harvest in the second year; for transplanted plants, harvest in late October of the same year, when the plants turn yellow and withered. Dig up the whole plant, shake off the mud and sand, and air-dry for 2-3 days until the roots become soft. Then remove the stems, leaves and fibrous roots, sort them by root size, tie them into small bundles, hang them head-down on the curing rack, and smoke and roast them slowly with smoke and fire. During smoking, pay attention to indoor ventilation and turn them frequently. After drying, rub off the fine hairs and fibrous roots, and they are ready as a commercial product. Generally, 667 sq m can produce about 150 kg of dried product. High-yield fields can reach 400 kg.

Production and Processing Techniques and Methods for Spicy Fish
Silver carp is a well-known freshwater fish species with a relatively large yield, but because its flesh is fine and full of small bones, its value is relatively low. At the same time, among similar products on the market, there are many small fish and few quick-prepared larger fish. To increase its added value, the author, through repeated experiments, developed soft-packaged spicy fish. The processing technology and formula are introduced as follows: 1. Raw and auxiliary materials: silver carp (about 0.35 Kg), salt, monosodium glutamate, Sichuan pepper, fennel, cinnamon, chili, pepper, tsaoko, ginger powder, cooking wine, soy sauce, scallion white, fresh ginger,
