Located in a plateau temperate semi-humid monsoon climate zone, Shoka Village in Mainling, China’s Xizang, boasting a climate characterized by dry winters and wet summers, is ideal for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum. Leveraging the superior natural conditions, local villager Nyima has established two standardized cultivation bases for white-fleshed Ganoderma lucidum in the area. Spanning 200,000 m² and equipped with 190 greenhouses, these bases have provided jobs for over 140 residents, and enabled 21 local households to overcome poverty and achieve prosperity.
