金菇、銀菇不如泌陽的花菇！河南泌陽花菇以其朵圓、肉厚、質(zhì)細、色白、爆花自然、外形美觀、口感脆嫩爽滑、味道鮮美而被譽為“菇中之皇”。泌陽花菇以豐富的營養(yǎng)和防病、健身、延緩衰老等作用深受國內(nèi)外群眾的歡迎。
      
    花菇是香菇子實體生產(chǎn)過程中，在特定的環(huán)境條件下形成的一種特殊的畸形菇，是香菇的極品。同時花菇還是一種藥用菌。據(jù)《河南大型真菌》記載：“花菇藥能益氣、治風(fēng)破血、化痰理氣、益味助食”�；ü降目共�、治病、保健功能在元代著名中醫(yī)吳瑞所著《日用本草》中已有確切記述：花菇含有水溶性鮮味物質(zhì)，其主要成分為核苷酸，可用作食品調(diào)味品。
      
    泌陽縣廣大農(nóng)民在香菇種植實踐中不斷進行技術(shù)創(chuàng)新。幾年來全縣農(nóng)民自發(fā)組織的技術(shù)攻關(guān)小組有數(shù)千個，發(fā)明新技術(shù)30多項，花菇率也由1994年的60%提高到今天的80%以上。此外，由棉柴、豆稈、麥秸等代替麻櫟木的研究和種植也獲得成功，為菇業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展作出了重大貢獻。近年來，泌陽縣以麥秸、稻草、玉米稈等農(nóng)作物廢料為主要原料的草腐菌種植遍地開花，年種植草腐菌11000余萬袋，消耗農(nóng)作物廢棄秸稈2000多萬公斤，節(jié)約木材資源近1億立方米，創(chuàng)產(chǎn)值5000萬元以上。泌陽迅速成為全國香菇種植大縣，香菇每年給泌陽農(nóng)民帶來收入6億元以上。泌陽香菇還獲得了“國家地理標(biāo)志產(chǎn)品”稱號。
