Ophiocordyceps sinensis is a fungus that parasitizes larvae
of ghost moths and produces a fruiting body valued as an
herbal remedy. The fungus germinates in the living larva,
kills and mummifies it, and then the stalk-like fruiting
body emerges from the corpse. It is known in English
colloquially as caterpillar fungus, or by its more prominent
foreign names (see below): yartsa gunbu or yatsa gunbu
(Tibetan), or Dōng chóng xià cǎo (Chinese: 冬虫夏草; literally
"winter worm, summer grass").
The moths in which . sinensis grows are ambiguously referred
to as "ghost moth", which identifies either a single species
or the genus Thitarodes, and the species parasitized by .

Tibetan Plateau (Tibet, Qinghai, West-Sichuan, SW-Gansu & NW
Yunnan), and the Himalayas (India, Nepal, Bhutan).

its use has a long history in Traditional Chinese medicine
as well as Traditional Tibetan medicine. The hand-collected
fungus-caterpillar combination is valued by herbalists and
as a status symbol; it is used as an aphrodisiac and
treatment for ailments such as fatigue and cancer, although
such use is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine and
anecdote. Recent research however seems to indicate a
variety of beneficial effects in animal testing, including
increased physical endurance through heightened ATP
production in rats.
