In recent years, Zoucheng City adheres to the edible fungus industry as an important starting point to promote the revitalization of rural industry and increase farmers' income. Through the four core driving mode of "talent leading, brand pulling, strong industrial chain and environmental construction", Zoucheng City has realized the transformation from unknown to the top ten main production bases of edible fungus industry in China. Today, Zoucheng has developed into more than 20 leading industrialized and intelligent mushroom enterprises, with an annual total planting area of 22.3 million square meters. The output of Flammulina velutipes accounts for more than 12% of the national industrialized output, which has promoted the employment of nearly 100000 migrant workers, and the growth of small mushrooms has become a big industry to promote the revitalization of rural areas.

As early as 2015, Professor Li Yu, academician of Chinese Academy of engineering and authoritative expert in the field of Mushroom Science and edible fungus engineering technology and industrialization research, led the team to Zoucheng to participate in the development and construction of edible fungus industry in the city. In 2016, academician workstation was set up to start the breeding and industrialization promotion of edible fungi.

"Zoucheng attaches great importance to talents and industry, which creates a very good environment for the development of edible fungi, and takes edible fungi as an important support for agricultural development, which is very rare." Talking about the choice of cooperation with Zoucheng, Academician Li Yu has deep feelings. Under his guidance, the whole industrial chain upgrading plan of breaking through strain research and development, edible fungus equipment manufacturing and deep processing of edible and medicinal fungi was quickly established and implemented. At the same time, Zoucheng has built a technological innovation system of "sharing platform + pilot base", established a strategic alliance for integrated technological innovation of edible fungi breeding, breeding and promotion in Shandong Province, established nine edible fungi industry innovation platforms above the provincial level, such as scientific innovation, zoulu, Tianhe, etc., established long-term technical cooperation with more than 10 domestic and foreign well-known scientific research institutes, such as international mushroom society, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and introduced new technologies The leading figure of edible fungi industry innovation has formed a seven in one science and technology innovation support system of "government, industry, University, research fund and application".

These are inseparable from policy guidance. Zoucheng aimed at the industrial and industrial development direction of edible fungi, implemented a series of policies and measures to escort the development of edible fungi. Set up industry development fund, invest 5 billion yuan to build mushroom Town, build the first-class mushroom industry research and development highland in China, and the largest mushroom industry cluster in the whole industry chain in China. Stretching the industrial chain, the upstream has cultivated a number of leading edible fungi development enterprises such as youshuo biology, Youhe fungi, etc., while the downstream edible and medicinal fungi processing enterprises represented by Yucheng biology, shibatian food, etc. have developed a series of characteristic products such as freeze-dried mushroom tablets, mushroom vitality drinks, Cordyceps capsules, etc.

"Now I can earn more than 3000 yuan a month, and I'm satisfied with taking care of my family." Shi Jifu is an employee of youshuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Dashu Town, Zoucheng City. She is very happy to be employed in the edible fungus enterprise at her home. Dashu alone has gathered three large-scale mushroom enterprises like yushuo. After the completion of the "mushroom town" project, the annual output of edible fungi is 120000 tons, and the output value can reach 2 billion yuan, driving the employment of more than 5800 people around.

Diaoyutai village, Dashu Town, not far from "mushroom town", has also found a way to increase villagers' income and become rich through the mushroom industry. "Our village adopts the mode of" Party branch leading cooperatives + enterprises + farmers ". The village collective raises more than 4 million yuan to build 20 mushroom cultivation greenhouses, which are contracted to farmers. The enterprises are responsible for providing mushroom sticks, technology and buying back and selling mushrooms." Zhu Yujian, Secretary of the village Party branch, said that at present, the sales revenue of 20 greenhouses has reached more than 2 million yuan, the collective economic income will exceed 1 million yuan this year, and the average household income will increase by 6000 yuan.

As a "short, flat and fast" project to get rid of poverty and become rich in rural areas, the edible fungi industry in Zoucheng has formed a "one core, two wings and many points" development pattern. At present, there are 2 national edible fungi cooperatives, 1 provincial, 1 Jining and 1 Zoucheng municipal cooperatives, driving more than 26000 farmers, exploring a variety of modes such as "leading enterprises + cooperatives + farmers", "leading enterprises + bases + farmers", and "returning mushrooms by borrowing bags" to help more than 60 farmers out of poverty, with an average annual income of more than 40000 yuan steadily increased.
