Mushroom farmers on cusp of green transition

At a factory in Xixia county, Henan province, workers are installing high-temperature and high-pressure sterilizers that will be utilized to make mushroom spawn bags.

"With these six sterilizers in place, all the nearby shiitake mushroom growers will be able to make spawn bags in our factory every spring, with a daily output of nearly 50,000 bags," said Sun Jianfeng, director of the factory.

Sun said electrical devices have been widely utilized over the past few years in local mushroom farming, in order to advance the industry's green transformation and reduce carbon consumption.
