combination of a caterpillar and a fungus and found at altitudes above 4500m in Sikkim. Traditional healers and local
people of North Sikkim recommend the mushroom, i.e., Yarsa gumba, Keera jhar (C. sinensis) for all diseases either as a
single drug or combined with other herbs. The present study was undertaken to collect information regarding the traditional
uses of cordyceps in Sikkim. It was found that most local folk healers/traditional healers use cordyceps for the treatment
