Abstract：To better utilize the space of moso bamboo forest and improve its economic benefits, the compound bamboo-edible fungi management model, i.e., Phyllostachys edulis-Grifola frondosa intercropping was studied for the benefits. The results showed that the pH value of the soil after the intercropping raised from 5.32 to 5.92; the organic matter components in the soils increased 21.32%, from 38.08 g/kg to 46.2 g/kg; the soil fertility index improved 16.1%, from 0.56 to 0.65, with a significant difference; the number of new bamboo culms increased by 9 culms/ha; the average diameter of new culms increased by 1.2 cm; the yield of winter and spring-shoots increased 86.67% and 77.63%, respectively. The net profit was 6 661.63 RMB/ha without calculating the labor input, while the input and output were balanced when the labor input was calculated. Such a compound management model was effective in improving soil organic matter component and fertility index value, as well as increasing the yield of bamboo timber and shoots, so it demonstrated a significant effect in improving the quality of bamboo forest.
