A prized caterpillar fungus that is more valuable than gold and is nicknamed 'Himalayan Viagra' in Asia becoming harder to find due to climate change.
It is believed that this can cure cancer.
There can be two factors overharvesting and climate change which is not yet proved.
The cone-shaped fungus is only found above an elevation of 9800 feet and forms when the parasitic fungus lodges in a caterpillar, slowly killing it.
