In the Land of the Thunder Dragon (Bhutan) there is a unique fungus that grows on caterpillars above 4000 metres. It's been used for hundreds of years in Traditional Asian Medicine and is more expensive than gold. Bhutan Pharmaceuticals Private Limited has been set up to explore the fungal diversity of Bhutan as a source of new metabolites. This blog will let the World know what we are up to.

Upper Motithang
For those who have checked out my location - this is correct. From the road it is a drive down into the pine forest to where I live. We have even found Cordyceps in the forest surrounding my house. This is not just my home but is also the home of our small research labs. Although we are based in a pine forest I always think: Although we're small - from small acorns do great oaks grow.
