Previously, Cambodia had to rely on importing packaged or dried shiitakes, as transporting fresh ones proved unfeasible. But now, a shiitake mushroom, a species native to colder Asian regions, thrives. This can only be achieved through the ingenious use of greenhouses. Grower Kheang Vanda stated: “While shiitake mushrooms are common in cooler regions like Japan, Korea, and China, I’ve mastered creating greenhouses that mimic these climates, perfect for cultivation. SY’s greenhouses cleverly use insulation on roofs and walls, maintaining the necessary cool temperatures and mitigating external heat for successful mushroom cultivation.
