have traditionally collected this mushroom for domestic use as a delicious food. Mushrooms are harvested from national forests, national parks and community-managed forests.
Harvesting is from early April through June. All harvesting is manual and carried out carefully to avoid breakage. The mushroom distributes its spores before it is collected, so the crop is sustainable.Harvesting provides much-needed cash to women and children in Humla and other remote mountain areas for food, household necessities, medicine, etc.
