Delicious and nutritious, it has the functions of nourishing and strengthening the body and enhancing immunity.
At present, bamboo fungus from Shuinan Town is on the market in large quantities, which not only increases farmers' income, but also gives diners a satisfying meal.

Shuinan Town has a mild climate all year round and a good ecological environment. There are dense bamboo forests, which provide a superior natural environment for the cultivation of bamboo fungus. The withered bamboo roots, leaves and bamboo poles provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of bamboo fungus.
In June 2024, Shuinan Town cooperated with the science and technology commissioner team of Zhaoqing University to build a bamboo fungus planting base in Aolan Village, a typical village in the town. Through the "base + university + cooperative + farmer" model, they developed bamboo fungus and revitalized the forest. improve the economy, increase farmers’ income, and promote high-quality rural development.
The project has invested about 100,000 yuan and has built a 2-acre outdoor underforest planting test base. The yield per mu is about 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms, the price per kilogram is 20 to 30 yuan, and the annual output value can reach 120,000 to 240,000 yuan.
Gan Yaqiang, secretary of the Party branch of Aolan Village and director of the village committee, said: "At present, the bamboo fungus planting base in Aolan Village is about 2 acres, with a daily output of about 50 kilograms. It is planned to expand the production scale to about 20 acres next year to boost the village's collective economy and villagers. Increase income.”
Walking into the bamboo fungus planting base in Aolan Village, Shuinan Town, in the green bamboo forest, round and lovely stone-like bamboo fungus eggs of different sizes have quietly emerged from the soil, and many more have "broken eggs" "The ripe bamboo fungus has stretched out its "snow-white skirt", full of vitality, fluttering in the wind, waiting to be picked.

It is the season for bamboo fungus to be on the market. In order to deliver fresh bamboo fungus to diners' tables in a timely manner, the "top priority" the villagers in Aolan Village must do every morning is to pick bamboo fungus at the bamboo fungus planting base.
The villagers shuttled around the base, pinching and twisting with their fingers. After a while, most of the baskets of picked bamboo fungus and bamboo fungus eggs were filled.

“In our preliminary investigation, we found that there are vast stretches of bamboo forest in Aolan Village, totaling more than 20 acres. In addition, the climate and environment here are very suitable for the growth of bamboo fungus, and we finally decided to plant bamboo fungus here to help local agricultural development and increase farmers’ income. " said Xiao Hanhong, provincial and municipal commissioner for rural science and technology and associate professor at the School of Life Sciences of Zhaoqing University (Xijiang University).
Dictyophora fungus is rich in active polysaccharides, which has the function of strengthening human immune cells and improving human immunity. The protein content of bamboo fungus per 100 grams is higher than that of eggs and 2.6 times that of tofu.
"Eat wild mushrooms in autumn and drink soup in winter." Bamboo fungus has a delicate fragrance and is full of treasures. It can be paired with native chicken to make a delicious and nourishing health-preserving chicken soup, which is perfect in autumn and winter. After hearing the news, many diners came to Shuinan Town to buy bamboo fungus. "The nutritional value of bamboo fungus is very high. I made a special trip to Shuinan Town to buy some bamboo fungus and go back to try it," said Aunt Xie, a citizen.
Shuinan Town has implemented the "Hundreds and Thousands Project" in depth, constantly explored new paths for industrial revitalization, vigorously developed the planting of Ganoderma lucidum, golden mushrooms and other specialty agricultural products, and promoted the overall revitalization of the countryside through the revitalization of the agricultural industry. In the next step, Shuinan Town will continue to strengthen the pairing with the science and technology commissioner team, implement more projects that benefit agriculture, and promote mature pilot projects to the entire town.
Hetai Town, Lecheng Town, and Shuinan Town are all mountainous towns in Gaoyao. Due to inconvenient transportation and no pillar industries, local farmers can only make a living by growing crops, and young people have gone out to work. These three towns are located in the northwest of Gaoyao and border with Guangning County. The geographical location and economy are quite backward.
I hope entrepreneurs from all over the world can visit these three towns.
