Boud., Morchella semilibera DC., in Mankial valley District Swat. The total annual production of dried morels was 334 kg and market value was Rs. 5999000/- in Mankial, Rs. 6609000/- at Mingora and Rs. 9130000/- at Islamabad during 2016. The Morchella species are collected for own uses and marketing and 97% of the morels are marketed while the remaining 3% are used as food or folk medicines. The highest population of markhor (Capra falconeri falconeri Wagner) was noted at Toshi Shasha conservancy Chitral with 1455 individuals during 2016 followed by 522 animals in Gehret Goleen conservancy Chitral during 2012 and 62 animals in Mankial valley district Swat during 2015.
