Some of our readers, after assimilating the message contained in the Editorial of the last issue of our journal (Discovery and Innovation, Vol. 15 Number 1/2, pp. 1-7), “Surprises, scientific charm, socio-economic potential, and possibilities in the mushroom world”, wrote back, excited. One asked for more information on the Chinese mushroom farming experience with a view to exploring how Africa could also make it. Another wrote on the reticulate veiled mushroom collected from western Uganda, the edible Dictyophora mushroom, which had been mentioned in the previous Editorial. One who had read our other publications on Africa’s mushroom resources, had exciting novel information to share about one of Africa’s neglected wild mushrooms: Ganoderma applanatum. In response to the positive feedback from our readers, and especially to the request for more information on the development of China’s mushroom farming industry, we requested Prof. Shu Ting Chang, Professor Emeritus at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, to contribute an invited article doing just that. Professor Chang’s article appears in this volume.
