The position and function of edible fungi in China's agriculture and the significance of developing edible fungi

The production of edible fungi has the characteristics of not competing with people for food, land, fertilizer and agriculture, occupying less land, using less water, investing less and getting quick results. It can transform a large number of discarded crop straws into high-quality protein and healthy food for human consumption, and can accommodate a large number of rural surplus labor. Vigorously developing edible fungi industry is an important choice to implement Scientific Outlook on Development, promote a virtuous cycle of agricultural ecology, build a resource-saving and eco-efficient agriculture, and realize the sustainable development of agriculture. As a new industry in agriculture and rural economy, edible fungi industry has shown great development potential and broad market prospects in the practice of eco-efficient agricultural construction in many places.
