(InTibet)CHINA-TIBET-NAGQU-BIRU-CATERPILLAR FUNGI-HARVEST (CN)

(220531) -- NAGQU, May 31, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A caterpillar fungus sprout is seen on the grassland in Biru County of Nagqu, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, May 25, 2022. On the prairie of over 4,700 meters above sea level in Biru County, herdsmen are busy hunting down caterpillar fungus at the harvest time. Biru County is a key site of yielding caterpillar fungus, an expensive ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. Found only at high altitudes, the fungus, known in China as "winter-worm summer-grass," is said to be effective in boosting the immune system. The caterpillar fungus harvest time lasts 45 days. For local herdsmen, collecting this precious fungus offers them seasonal jobs and increases their income. Trekking on the alpine ground, searching for the tiny caterpillar fungus as small as an apple stalk, fungus diggers must brave harsh weather conditions from sunrise till sunset. Fungus diggers use an ice pick to prod the earth and dig a hole about 10 centimeters deep. After pl
