On aspect of artificial cultivation, wild mushrooms have been leading quick development speed, Morel has become the new backup for mushroom growers to increase output and income. As one of very few and high-benefit mushrooms that could be artificially cultivated, Morels are widely favored by customers all over the world.

However, Yunnan Province is rather lag in aspect of artificial Morel cultivation and promotion,” introduces related scholar, adding that on condition of present mature and stable technology and to calculate by mu output of 150 kg (Fresh Morels), annual output only comes to 600 tons, which shows a far cry to huge market demands. But there is no denying that huge market demands and advantaged ecological resources are prominent superiority for development of Morel industry in Yunnan Province.
