On march 17th, in a row of standardized sheds, fresh and dense mushrooms were planted in the old town of yancheng. It's full of boulders, and the growers travel through scavengers and boxes, and they're so busy. "to plant mushrooms, to be taught, to sell, to earn money in front of the house!" in the words of zhao zhang, the villagers of zhao zhang village spoke of the happiness of the local population, which was enriched by the specialty industry。

Since 2024, more than 10 towns and villages have been set up in the food industry, producing 5 million bags of mushrooms and 3 million bags of mushrooms each year, growing more than 5,000 acres of sheep's belly, more than 600 acres of cinnamon, more than 100 acres of grass mushrooms, 200 acres of black chickens and 0. 80 million a year of fungus。

As the largest and well-known province-wide production of mushrooms, the old yanchung town has in recent years established a mushroom planting base centred on the villages of zhao zhang and zhu daoguchi. It has led to the development of crowds through a “party-led + large-led + farmer-led” model, and has invited county agricultural experts to be based in villages to provide full-process technical guidance, promote closed-season cropping and forest sub-cropping patterns, and achieve a year-round increase in the production of mushrooms. The base covers more than 440 acres and has 210 standard sheds, consuming over 6. 5 million rods per year, producing around 11 million kilograms of mushrooms per year and exceeding $60 million per year。
The head of the base explained that the mushroom industry had brought bright economic benefits as well as warmer social benefits, and that more than 500 people had been brought closer to stable employment, and that many farmers who were supposed to work outside the country after the year had chosen to leave their homes for the prospects and benefits of growing the mushrooms。

“we will continue to promote the standardization and branding of mushroom cultivation, the expansion of power supply channels, the extension of industrial chains and the enhancement of value added.” the secretary of the town party, father zefford, said so.
