The latest local distribution of Cordyceps sinensis planting

Cordyceps sinensis has limited resources because of its narrow distribution, low natural parasitism rate and harsh living conditions. In recent years, due to the serious man-made damage to the ecological environment of the main producing areas of Cordyceps sinensis, a large number of blind and unreasonable mining has led to the decrease of resources and the decrease of output year by year. Cordyceps sinensis on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is distributed in Nagqu area of Xizang, Nyingchi Prefecture, Qamdo Prefecture, Yushu area and Guoluo Prefecture of Qinghai, Rangtang of Aba Prefecture of Sichuan, Litang, Batang and Dege of Ganzi Prefecture, north of Deqin and Zhongdian of Diqing Prefecture of Yunnan Province, and west of Maqu of Gannan Prefecture of Gansu Province.

Liangshan in Sichuan Province in the east, Pulan County in Xizang in the west, Minshan in Gansu Province in the north, the Himalayas in the south and Longxue Mountain in Yunnan Province in the south. Xizang's Cordyceps sinensis production accounts for about 40% of the national Cordyceps sinensis output, Sichuan Province accounts for about 40% of the national Cordyceps sinensis output, and Yunnan Province and Qinghai Province account for about 10% each.
