In Long Yin Village, Huang Guan Town, Guanyang County, the villagers have to go out to make a living because there are few people in the village and ecological public welfare forests are the main ones. In recent years, villagers began to plant Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum in ecological public welfare forests. The good ecological environment makes the imitation wild medicinal materials produced here very popular in the market. Planting Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum in the mountain forest has the greater advantage that it does not compete with agriculture for farmland and forestry for forest land, achieving a win-win situation of ecological and economic benefits.

"These are not weeds." The villagers in Long Yin Village pointed to the "green grass" in the village and told reporters that the green grass on the tree is Dendrobium candidum, which is called "fairy grass". It is understood that wild Dendrobium candidum mainly grows in trees and crevices. As early as 1980s, wild Dendrobium officinale was listed as a rare and endangered medicinal plant under national key protection, and picking was strictly prohibited. However, as a precious Chinese herbal medicine, Dendrobium candidum has always had a great market demand, and its artificial planting history has been more than 20 years.

20 15, under the guidance of Wen, some villagers in the village began to imitate wild planting trees. "Compared with greenhouse planting, tree planting has the advantages of no fear of waterlogging, no fertilization, no insects and simple management." According to Wen Qing's theory, Dendrobium candidum grows slowly in a similar wild environment. After planting, it usually takes three years to start harvesting. However, after Dendrobium is planted on trees, its growth mainly depends on its own roots to absorb nutrients from trees and air, which conforms to its biological habits, reduces manual intervention and is closer to wild quality. Compared with greenhouse planting, the income is naturally much higher.

In addition to Dendrobium candidum on the tree, there is another kind of "fairy grass" at the foot-Ganoderma lucidum. "Like Dendrobium candidum, we also transplanted Ganoderma lucidum in this mountain forest to let them grow in the wild natural environment." There is no shortage of wild Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum in the market, and merchants from Guangdong and other places will take the initiative to buy them. "Villager Wen Jianyi told reporters that the planting area of these two kinds of medicinal materials in the village has reached four or five hundred mu. Calculated, the net income per mu reached more than 20,000 yuan.

Today, the members of Guanyang Longling Planting Cooperative have grown to more than 40 households, and the contracted area of forest land has also expanded to 1 10,000 mu. "Next, we will expand the planting scale of imitation wild Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium candidum, and continue to form economies of scale. While protecting this ecological public welfare, it has also become a' cornucopia' for villagers to get rich.
