This fungus is not yet cultivated commercially, [5] despite the fact that several fermentable strains of Ophiocordyceps sinensis have been isolated by Chinese scientists. [6] Overharvesting and overexploitation have led to the classification of O. sinensis as an endangered species in China. [7] Additional research needs to be carried out in order to understand its morphology and growth habits for conservation and optimum utilization.
The caterpillars prone to infection by O. sinensis generally live 15 cm (5.9 in) underground [6] in alpine grass and shrub-lands on the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas at an altitude between 3,000 and 5,000 m (9,800 and 16,400 ft). The fungus is reported from the northern range of Nepal, Bhutan, and also from the northern states of India, apart from northern Yunnan, eastern Qinghai, eastern Tibet, western Sichuan, southwestern Gansu provinces. [6] Fifty-seven taxa from several genera (37 Thitarodes , 1 Bipectilus , 1 Endoclita , 1 Gazoryctra , 3 Pharmacis , and 14 others not correctly identified to genus [5] ) are recognized as potential hosts of O. sinensis .
