Cordyceps Sinensis 冬虫夏草
Attention : Our group of intellectuals are in research process of cultivation. There is good sign of possibilities. However, we collect from wild mountain moors at present.

Cordyceps Sinensis is found only in the Himalayan region of Nepalabove 3800m. from the sea level. It is extremely high valued traditional medicine. It is created when a type of fungus parasites the larvae of the Chongcao Bat. Moth and forms a fungus (larva) composite body. The larva forms a cocoon in the winter and hibernates in the ground. Because the fruiting body of the fungus emerges from the head of the larva in the summer time and trembles a grass sprout, this medicine's local name means roughly 'Yarcha Gunbu (winter caterpillar, summer grass)' TOCHYUKASOU in Japanese language meaning is same.

Medicinal Value:

Shiitake Mushroom シイタケ
Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinus edodes) is a fungus native to Japan, China, and Korea. Although these mushrooms are cultivated worldwide as of 2004, Japan is still the largest producer of shiitake mushrooms, producing 80% of the total supply. The Japanese consider the shiitake not only a flavorful food but also "the elixir of life." Shiitake is an excellent source for amino acids, vegetable proteins, iron, thiamine (vitamin B1); riboflavin (vitamin B2);niacin; and vitamins B6, B12, and D2. Shiitake is known as hsaing ku (fragrant mushroom) in China.

Now, with the help of Mr. Fujino Shoji a Japanese Mushroom expert, we cultivate this Shiitake in chestnut tree logs in our own Eco Farm. This is to encourage the farmers to cultivate rather to collect wild mushroom and invite death. Remember ! large number of death record shows by eating wild mushroom unknowingly. It might be a awareness march from our side to Nepalese society and get good economic support if followed professionally. We are sharing this technology to group of farmers in several villages.

General Use: Traditionally, shiitake was used medicinally for a number of conditions.
? colds and influenza, headaches, sexual dysfunction, constipation, measles, hemorrhoids, diabetes , gout etc.
Presently, shiitake has been shown to boost the immune system, act as an antiviral and antibacterial agent, and possibly shrink tumors. However Western interest in the mushroom as a possible treatment for cancer and HIV infection has encouraged researchers in the United States and elsewhere to begin formalized studies of its medicinal properties.
