After the recognition camera 6 recognizes that the discolored edible fungi enter the top of the support sheet 9, it transmits a retraction signal to the PLC controller 4. At this time, the PLC controller 4 controls the multi-stage electric push rod 7 to start and reset in the reverse direction. The multi-stage electric push rod 7 drives the support sheet 9 to rise and reset through the L-shaped plate 8. The support sheet 9 drives the discolored edible fungi to rise. At this time, the PLC controller 4 controls the air pump 11 to start for ten seconds. The air pump 11 is turned on. When the air is supplied into the horizontal tube 12, the air is blown out to the left through multiple air blowing tubes 13. The blown gas passes through the ventilation holes 10 and blows the discolored edible fungi to the left and collects them in the collecting box 3. By identifying and picking up the discolored edible fungi and automatically blowing them into the collecting box 3 after lifting, the conventional spoiled edible fungi such as those turned black and red can be automatically sorted, removed and collected in a centralized manner. There is no need for personnel to observe and pick in real time before entering the packaging, which saves time and effort, improves the use effect, reduces the defective rate, and meets the use needs.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
