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.

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 1
