In Bhutan Cordyceps (Cordyceps Sinensis) locally called as "Yartsa Goenbub" which is an insect parasite fungus having high commercial demand as tonic/aphrodisiac.

Before the legalization, the collection of Cordyceps was allowed only in the province of Lunana by local yak herders.

It was on June 17, 2004, a royal command by His Majesty the King, lift the sanction, allowing one member from each Bhutanese household to harvest the Yartsa Goenbub (Cordyceps Sinensis).

Due to over-harvesting and inflated price, in 2009, Bhutan Government imposed a new set of rule, restricting only three members of each household for harvesting.

On top of the restriction, all licensed farmers have to pay a Royalty charge of 10 percent from their export earnings.
