In Yangpingsi Town, Zoucheng City, Shandong, fresh mushrooms can be eaten all year round, because the mushrooms here all grow in special mushroom houses. Mushroom houses fitted with shade nets can extend the harvest period of button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) into summer. And the mushroom houses kept tightly sealed even in the heat of summer are meant to let straw mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea), which love high temperatures, come to market 2 months earlier. Mushroom houses fitted with air conditioning are meant to maintain a constant temperature and humidity, so that enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) grow like chives - after one crop is cut, another crop follows.

In Yangpingsi Town, Zoucheng City, Shandong, fresh mushrooms can be eaten all year round, because the mushrooms here all grow in special mushroom houses.

Mushroom houses fitted with air conditioning are meant to maintain a constant temperature and humidity, so that enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) grow like chives - after one crop is cut, another crop follows.

Through technological means, the north-south differences in edible fungus cultivation have been changed, and its seasonal variations have been controlled, so that a wide variety of edible fungi can be produced in all four seasons of the year. Growers can freely choose the varieties that sell best on the market to cultivate.

Now not only can local people eat fresh mushrooms all year round, but even if you are a thousand miles away, you may still be able to eat mushrooms from Yangpingsi Town, because the mushrooms here are large in output and complete in variety, which has attracted buyers from various places to come and purchase mushrooms.

With both domestic sales and exports, the growers of Yangpingsi Town are investing more and more in mushrooms, and mushrooms are also bringing them more and more income.

According to mushroom grower Zhang Yisheng, his mushroom shed has a total area of 7000 sq m, 130 m long from north to south and 11 m wide from east to west, with 7 tiers of shelves erected. In 2007 the total investment was 2.5 million yuan, and combined with the mushrooms grown in the old sheds before, the cultivation area reached 60,000 sq m. Based on the economic returns of previous years, the annual net income can be around 1 million yuan.
