In particular, the Lentinus edodes in dwarf town is known as the authentic representative of "Lentinus edodes in northern Guangdong" and is a well-known production base of "Lentinus edodes in northern Guangdong".

Guan Yu, general manager of mushroom base, said: "Our traditional manual bagging of mushrooms is such an operation step. We put it in sawdust and compact it, so that it can be tied up and sterilized at high temperature. Now it is replaced by mechanization, and bagging is stronger and tighter. We traditionally make hundreds of bags a day by one person. Now mechanization can make about 5000 bags, and a production line can make 20000 bags, so the efficiency is greatly improved.

There are signs in front of each greenhouse, indicating the variety, scale, time and production cycle of mushroom cultivation. This mushroom production base is a poverty alleviation project. Drive this local poor household out of poverty and become rich, it will be marked as Du Shaosheng, and then the number of poor households driven will be 12, which is clearly written on this brand.

Guan Yu, general manager of the mushroom base, continued: "The business model of our mushroom production base is like this. One is to produce and sell mushroom sticks and cultivate mushrooms independently. Second, it is mainly to plant fungus sticks and sell mushrooms for poor households lacking conditions and technology, so that poor households can increase their family income while acquiring technology. "
