Taking local wild gray Polyporus umbellatus and cultured Armillaria as the material,the appropriate altitudes of semi-wild cultivation of Polyporus umbellatus were selected by cultivating areas ranging from 600~800 m,800~1 000 m,1 000~1 200 m to 1 200~1 400 m.The results showed that the yield and economic benefit of Polyporus umbellatus planted at 800~1 200 m altitude were better than the other groups.The yield production of those growing in forest area at 1 000~1 200 m,and 800~1 000 m altitudes were significantly higher than that of 1 200~1 400 m and 600~800 m altitudes,with nearly doubled economic benefit.Therefore,the suitable cultivation area of semi-wild Polyporus umbellatus should be within the scope of hilly areas at 800~1 200 m altitude.
