The import quantity of dry shiitake mushroom in 2001 for instance, reached 9,165 ton, while fresh shiitake mushroom reached 36,291 ton. The background of the rapid increase of shiitake mushroom export from China is the great influence of such factors as the development and popularization of shiitake mushroomproduction technology, activation of the rural-mountainous village area according to the conversion of agricultural policy and economic open policy after the Great Cultural Revolution.
