Doctor Nguyen Van Hieu and his associates have developed the brand, Nong Lam lingzhi mushrooms. They have been on the market for five years and Nong Lam lingzhi products are now popular in most provinces and cities nationwide.
Nguyen Van Hieu has long desired to make Vietnamese lingzhi mushroom products to compete with foreign ones. The reason is the climate and soil conditions in many parts of the country are quite suitable for growing this mushroom.
Hieu and his associates have studied and grown lingzhi mushroom with microorganism technology at the Technology Enterprise Incubation Center at Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry.
The crossbreeding, transplanting and growing of the mushrooms were conducted by skilled technicians based on the growth properties of each type of mushroom to ensure their best quality.
