LINQING, China, Aug. 11, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

From August 1 to 3, the China (Linqing Shandong) Edible and Medicinal Fungi

Industry Development Conference & 4th China Phellinus Igniarius Industry

Development Conference were held in Linqing City of Shandong.

Linqing lies at the old riverway of the Yellow River, where there are over

20,000 ancient mulberry trees, of which the oldest has been more than 1,200

years old. For this reason, Linqing has always been reputed as an "ancient

riverway during the Qin and Han dynasties and a mulberry garden during the Ming

and Qing dynasties" and has been listed among the seventh batch of important

agricultural cultural heritages of China. Therefore, it is blessed with the

advantages for the development of phellinus igniarius industry. These years,

the city has spared no effort to advance the protection of the ancient mulberry

tree resources and the development and utilization of phellinus igniarius at

the ancient riverway of the Yellow River. By means of launching the artificial

cultivation of phellinus igniarius, mining the cultural resources, introducing

high-end talents and developing a series of products, it has gradually formed a

complete industrial chain development trend integrating strain breeding,

artificial cultivation, product research and development and sales and

marketing everywhere, according to the News Office of the People's Government

of Linqing City.

Thus far, Linqing has built six growing bases along the old riverway of the

Yellow River, with an artificial cultivation area of 1,100-plus mu (1 mu is

666.67 square meters), an annual output of 8 million phellinus igniarius bags

and 330 tons of phellinus igniarius, having developed more than 50 series of

products such as TCM decoction pieces of phellinus igniarius, phellinus

igniarius powder, tea, coffee and wine, with an annual output value of up to

180 million yuan. Linqing phellinus igniarius has been listed among the

"famous, special, quality and innovative" agricultural products of China;

Linqing has also successively won honorary titles such as "Capital of Phellinus

Igniarius in China" and "Demonstrative County for Growing of Phellinus

Igniarius in China". In last December, the herbal medicine standard of Shandong

(phellinus igniarius) and the specifications on the preparation of TCM

decoction pieces (phellinus igniarius) were approved, and were put into force

on July 1 this year.
