Greenhouses are arranged in order, and the black awning cloth blocks the sun outside, adding a bit of tranquility to the ganoderma lucidum growing "in array" in the shed. On the 3rd, Li Dongze, the head of Jilin Lusheng Biological Products Co., Ltd., came to the base as usual to check the growth of Ganoderma lucidum. "We must strictly control the growth temperature, humidity and light level, and no mistakes can be made at any step." Li Dongze told the staff to look after the greenhouse, while carefully checking the light, air temperature and soil temperature data on the sensor at the greenhouse door. "Rainy and humid conditions are most suitable for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum, so this year's harvest of spore powder will double that of last year." Li Dongze said that farmers who cooperate with the company have harvested nearly 50000 kilograms of spore powder this year.

In the golden autumn, it is the season for collecting the spore powder of Ganoderma lucidum. In the Ganoderma lucidum planting shed of Jilin Lusheng Biological Products Co., Ltd. in Shuangyang District, Ganoderma lucidum blossoms like open umbrellas, overflowing with fungus fragrance.

Greenhouses are arranged in order, and the black awning cloth blocks the sun outside, adding a bit of tranquility to the ganoderma lucidum growing "in array" in the shed. On the 3rd, Li Dongze, the head of Jilin Lusheng Biological Products Co., Ltd., came to the base as usual to check the growth of Ganoderma lucidum. "We must strictly control the growth temperature, humidity and light level, and no mistakes can be made at any step." Li Dongze told the staff to look after the greenhouse, while carefully checking the light, air temperature and soil temperature data on the sensor at the greenhouse door. "Rainy and humid conditions are most suitable for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum, so this year's harvest of spore powder will double that of last year." Li Dongze said that farmers who cooperate with the company have harvested nearly 50000 kilograms of spore powder this year.

In 2017, through the opportunity of cooperation with relevant scientific research institutions, Li Dongze learned that Ganoderma lucidum has a broad market prospect. After scientific detection and assessment of climate and soil factors by experts, he learned that the characteristics of high humidity, high temperature and high selenium content are very suitable for planting basswood Ganoderma lucidum. After the successful trial planting, Li Dongze also expanded the industrial chain of ganoderma lucidum deep processing, and developed a series of products including ganoderma lucidum spore powder, ganoderma lucidum slices, and ganoderma lucidum artworks, which are very popular in the market.

At the same time of industrial development, in order to drive the development of surrounding villages together, Li Dongze has carried out village enterprise cooperation with seven surrounding villages to create a cooperation model of "farmers+companies+marketing markets". "We provide free technical guidance, and the company will recycle the ganoderma spores and ganoderma lucidum produced by farmers according to the market price before deep processing and sales." Li Dongze said, Up to now, nearly one thousand mu of Ganoderma lucidum has been planted, which has driven more than 40 farmers.

Ganoderma lucidum industry connects the development of enterprises at one end and the "purse" of farmers at the other. Wang Shouyan, one of the first farmers to join the Ganoderma lucidum planting project, has expanded from the original 10 to 100 Ganoderma lucidum greenhouses. "Look at this Ganoderma lucidum greenhouses, each of which can produce more than 100 kilograms of raw powder every year, plus more than 400 kilograms of food, which is many times more effective than growing vegetables." Wang Shouyan said that this year's harvest is good. When collecting spore powder a few days ago, The demand for labor is very large. More than 20 villagers come here to work. "I haven't even seen what Ganoderma lucidum looks like before. Now I work in the base. I have not only learned planting techniques, but also earned more than 3000 yuan a month. I can also take care of the elderly and children at home, and really achieve employment at home," said Zhu Yan, a villager who works here.

It is an innovation and breakthrough in the agricultural development history of Shuangyang District to plant Ganoderma lucidum in the agricultural greenhouses with the reputation of "fairy grass". Ganoderma lucidum blooms year after year. The industrial development has made Li Dongze and his enterprises more confident, and has also widened the road of rural industry revitalization. As a featured planting industry with high efficiency, Ganoderma lucidum has supported the masses' "getting rich umbrella".
