He contacted people in Argentina, and Japan, where they started to research about the ABM in 1975. This mushroom started to be known as Himmematsutake, God's mushroom or Sun mushroom . Due to a large demand by Japan, China has started to cultivate the Agaricus in the southern provinces in 1992,where the climate is warm by using modern technology .
