About wild tiger milk mushroom powder
“Look, this tiger milk mushroom is quite large, weighing at least 150 grams!” On the afternoon of July 28, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the rubber trees, casting patterns on the ground. At the tiger milk mushroom cultivation base under the rubber trees of the Jianfeng Team of the Changtian Branch of Hainan Shenzhen Group, technician Wang Xueqi was working alongside two workers, carefully digging up tiger milk mushrooms with shovels.
Harvesting tiger milk mushrooms
In February this year, we first experimented with planting 110 acres of tiger milk mushrooms under the rubber trees. It has been over five months since then. Now, the first batch of 70 acres of tiger milk mushrooms has entered the harvesting period, with an expected yield exceeding 3,000 pounds. At current market prices, this could generate over 60,000 yuan in revenue. The remaining 40 acres will be harvested later.
According to the technician, most of the tiger milk mushrooms harvested this time weighed over 100 grams. Those weighing over 50 grams will be sliced and sold as ingredients in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Those weighing less than 50 grams will be dried and used as Chinese herbal medicine, mainly for treating asthma and coughs.
