摘要

Cordyceps sinensis is a parasitic fungus which infects the lepidopteran larva. The infected larva is commonly known as fungus caterpillar and is valued for its medicinal properties. In Uttarakhand it is locally known as ‘keera jari’ and is usually found in the meadows at a height of 3,500–5,000 m asl. The larva is infected by the fungus at the end of autumn; it slowly infects the whole body of the larva resulting in its death. During winter the larva remains buried in the soil. However, once the snow starts melting the fungus-infected larva sporulates giving rise to a shoot-like structure (Figure 1). Due to its potential medicinal value, C. sinensis has a huge market and is highly priced. Its collection therefore has become a good source of income for the locals. However, over-exploitation is alarming.
