One of the most noteworthy achievements is the invention in Taiwan of a method for cultivating shiitake mushrooms on wood shavings, instead of the logs on which they were traditionally grown. This method, a world first, was developed by a government agricultural agency in 1974, and is now used widely not only in Taiwan but throughout the world.
其中最值得一提的是我國首創的「香菇木屑包栽培法」，菇農以木屑包取代過去種在木頭上的段木栽培法，是台灣農業單位在一九七四年首創的，目前已廣為世界各國引用。
