China is the earliest country to eat Dictyophora and to realize its artificial domestication. At present, 12 species of Dictyophora have been reported worldwide, 7 species of which are found in China. Dictyophora rubrovolvata, D. echinovolvata and D. indusiata have been cultivated on a large scale, and the main producing areas are Zhijin in Guizhou Province, Shunchang and Jangle in Fujian Province, and Qingchuan and Changning in Sichuan Province. The cultivation of D. rubrovolvata had experienced 4 stages: wild tending, casserole cultivation, outdoor simple greenhouse cultivation and rapid development of new cultivation techniques. The present integrated cultivation technique of bag removing and soil covering of D. rubrovolvata were introduced in detail from the aspects of production and selection of high-quality fungi bags, bag removing and soil covering, spawn running, as well as fruiting management and harvesting. As one of the “ten main promoting technologies” of Guizhou Province in 2022, it had realized rapid propagation of liquid strains and supporting cultivation of improved varieties and methods. The suitable strains were selected to support understory cultivation, layer cultivation, basket cultivation, factory cultivation and other modes, which had short cultivation period and can realize annual production and supply. With the development of the industry, it is expected that low-cost secondary fermentation or tertiary fermentation cultivation technology will be more widely used
