BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a device for improving the quality of edible wild fungi to increase benefits of the utility model, in which a structural view is on the left and a top view is on the right.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the utility model, the insect-proof and rain-proof cover is snapped on the top of the hood and can be taken down for conveniently viewing the growth situation of edible wild fungi; the cover is preferably made of a white opaque material and preferably has a smooth surface; the white opaque material can prevent the fruiting bodies of the edible wild fungi from being directly exposed to sunlight, which may otherwise deepen the color of the fruiting bodies, resulting in an influence on appearance of the edible wild fungi; the white opaque material can also avoid the damage to the edible wild fungi from a dark material which is prone to causing the greenhouse effect due to heat absorption; and the cover has the smooth surface difficult for insects to crawl.

In the utility model, the hood is the hollow barrel which is preferably cylindrical, conical, or inversely conical; a plurality of heat dissipation holes are preferably formed in the hood to facilitate ventilation, thus eliminating the greenhouse effect in the hood; the heat dissipation holes are preferably located below the top of the hood and above the stretchable corrugated structure; the stretchable corrugated structure can be used to adjust the height of the hood as required; the hood has a smooth surface difficult for the insects to crawl; the hood is made of a white opaque material, and thus can prevent the fruiting bodies of the edible wild fungi from being directly exposed to the sunlight, which may otherwise deepen the color of the fruiting bodies, resulting in an influence on the appearance of the edible wild fungi; the hood can also avoid the damage to the edible wild fungi from the dark material which is prone to causing the greenhouse effect due to heat absorption.

In the utility model, the hood is clamped with the base; a bayonet is preferably formed in the base to clamp the base with the hood; the ring-shaped base is epitaxially provided with the downward grooved flange; when the device is inserted into soil, the ring-shaped grooved flange squeezes the soil to form a ring-shaped groove for rainwater collection, so that the soil is moisturized to provide continuous and sufficient moisture for growth of the edible wild fungi; the plurality of support legs are uniformly and circumferentially arranged at the bottom of the base, and have tapered ends away from the base; the support legs facilitate the base to be inserted into the soil and prevent the device from being tilted or falling down.

In the specific implementation of the utility model, as shown in FIG. 1, the device for improving the quality of edible wild fungi to increase benefits structurally includes: 1. cover, 2. hood, 3. base, 21. heat dissipation hole, 22. stretchable corrugated structure, 31. bayonet, 32. grooved flange, 33. support leg.

The technical solutions provided by the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the examples, but the technical solutions cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the utility model.

Example 1

The specific implementation of the device for improving the quality of Tricholoma matsutake (edible wild agarics fungi such as lactarius and boletus) to increase benefits is as follows:

Tricholoma matsutake as an edible fungus is a pure natural, rare, and precious, and is praised as "the king of fungi". The Tricholoma matsutake is deeply affected by its appearance, color, and smell in quality. The Tricholoma matsutake has very strict requirements on the growing environment. The Tricholoma matsutake will be malformed and slight due to the lack of nutrients or rainwater, and will be unattractive due to its insect damage, dark color, or unsmooth surface, and there are more than 30% of such Tricholoma matsutake, as a result, the Tricholoma matsutake are greatly different in price. Currently, valuable edible wild fungi such as the Tricholoma matsutake are mainly covered with pine needles, dry branches, fallen leaves, and the like to be shaded to retain moisture for conservation and cultivation. The device can prevent insects from crawling onto the fungi, shade the fungi, preserve the moisture of the fungi, and reduce the malformation rate and damage rate of the fungi when actually used.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the device structurally includes: 1. cover, 2. hood, 3. base,

21. heat dissipation hole, 22. stretchable corrugated structure, 31. bayonet, 32. grooved flange, 33.

support leg.

When the device is used, the base is inserted into soil when exactly facing the Tricholoma

matsutake (lactarius, boletus, and the like) to be fixed; then the hood is connected to the base via the

bayonet, and stretchable ridges are adjusted according to the height of the Tricholoma matsutake

(lactarius, boletus, and the like) to make sure that the hood is high enough to make wild fungi grow

well; and afterwards, the cover is snapped on the hood, in this way, the device is assembled.

Example 2

The specific implementation of the device for improving the quality of thelephora ganbajun (edible wild fungi such as club fungi growing irregularly) to increase benefits is as follows:

Thelephora ganbajun chiefly comes from Yunnan, and is one of the valuable edible wild fungi. The thelephora ganbajun as the edible fungus is delicious and highly nutritious and has a unique fragrance, and its growth is deeply affected by moisture, light, temperature, and soil PH. By means of the device, continuous moisture and appropriate light can be provided for the growth of the fruiting body of the thelephora ganbajun.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the device structurally includes: 1. cover, 2. hood, 3. base, 21. heat dissipation hole, 22. stretchable corrugated structure, 31. bayonet, 32. grooved flange, 33. support leg.

The device with an internal diameter suitable to the size of the thelephora ganbajun is selected to be used. The thelephora ganbajun grows both horizontally and vertically, and accordingly, a device with a larger internal diameter needs to be used in time for replacement according to the growth situation of the thelephora ganbajun to provide a sufficient space for the growth of the thelephora ganbajun.

Example 3

The specific implementation of the device for improving the quality of truffles (subterranean fungi) to increase benefits is as follows:

Truffles are subterranean edible wild fungi with extremely high nutrition. They are commonly used as expensive rare foods in Europe, and are called "black diamond" on table as well as caviar, foie gras, and other high-end cuisines.

At present, truffle plantations are enlarged year by year in other countries outside China and are being built rapidly in china. The truffles are susceptible to damage caused by animals and insects due to their special fragrances. In the plantations, semi-exposed truffles are mainly covered with soil to be protected from being eaten by the animals and the insects.

The device is mainly used for the semi-exposed truffles. When the device is assembled, the base is inserted into soil when exactly facing the truffles, the hood is connected to the base via the bayonet, and the cover is snapped on the hood. By means of the device, the semi-exposed truffles can be protected from being eaten by the animals and the insects, and is relieved from direct irradiation of light, which may otherwise cause surface cracking, resulting in an influence on appearance.

The above descriptions are merely preferred implementations of the utility model. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may further make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the utility model, but such improvements and modifications should be deemed as falling within the protection scope of the utility model.
