中國的松(song)茸產地主要有三個區域，分別是(shi)東北、滇西北和西藏林芝地區。

林(lin)芝(zhi)地(di)(di)區(qu)地(di)(di)形、地(di)(di)貌類型(xing)復(fu)雜多樣(yang)，小氣候差異(yi)懸殊。雨(yu)熱(re)同(tong)季(ji)，氣溫適中(zhong)，降(jiang)水(shui)集中(zhong)，光照理想，光熱(re)水(shui)資源利用率高，利于松(song)茸(rong)生(sheng)長，為松(song)茸(rong)穩產(chan)、高產(chan)、優質奠定了良(liang)好的基礎。同(tong)時由(you)于林(lin)芝(zhi)地(di)(di)區(qu)降(jiang)水(shui)量高度變(bian)化的差異(yi)，濕潤、半濕潤類型(xing)兼(jian)備，不同(tong)水(shui)熱(re)類型(xing)的組合形成了各種立體的氣候系統。在山體中(zhong)下部氣候溫暖，水(shui)分充足，是理想的天然松(song)茸(rong)生(sheng)產(chan)地(di)(di)。

林芝松(song)(song)茸(rong)生(sheng)(sheng)于(yu)藏東南深山(shan)峽谷(gu)森林中(zhong)，要求條(tiao)件十分嚴格。常見于(yu)松(song)(song)林或針、闊葉(xie)(xie)混交林中(zhong)的地(di)(di)上(shang)，群生(sheng)(sheng)。林芝松(song)(song)茸(rong)產(chan)區土壤主要為棕色林土或山(shan)地(di)(di)黑壤、黃(huang)壤，PH5.1~5.5之(zhi)間。林地(di)(di)枯枝落葉(xie)(xie)較稀(xi)疏(shu)。生(sheng)(sheng)產(chan)松(song)(song)茸(rong)的林齡一般(ban)不低(di)于(yu)20年(nian)(nian)。30~40年(nian)(nian)生(sheng)(sheng)的林地(di)(di)為產(chan)松(song)(song)茸(rong)的旺盛時期，60年(nian)(nian)以上(shang)的林齡松(song)(song)茸(rong)產(chan)量開始下降。

由于(yu)特殊(shu)的(de)地理生(sheng)態環境，西藏(zang)的(de)林芝松(song)茸(rong)(rong)成為最潔(jie)凈(jing)的(de)食物，無任何污(wu)染。林芝松(song)茸(rong)(rong)具有(you)個頭(tou)大、形體佳、蟲(chong)菌少等特點。因(yin)此，林芝松(song)茸(rong)(rong)在國(guo)內國(guo)際市場，都比其(qi)他產區松(song)茸(rong)(rong)更受(shou)青睞(lai)。

松(song)茸(rong)菌(jun)肉(rou)肥厚，具有香氣，味(wei)道鮮(xian)美，是名貴的野生(sheng)食(shi)(shi)用(yong)菌(jun)，有很(hen)高的營養價值。特別(bie)是全球僅西藏林芝才產的櫟松(song)茸(rong)，在國(guo)內外(wai)食(shi)(shi)法多種多樣。燒、炒、煮皆宜，可(ke)生(sheng)食(shi)(shi)、煮食(shi)(shi)、干制，也(ye)可(ke)配菜肴。與其(qi)他產地松(song)茸(rong)相(xiang)比，據國(guo)內外(wai)食(shi)(shi)客稱(cheng)，林芝松(song)茸(rong)食(shi)(shi)之鮮(xian)嫩(nen)可(ke)口(kou)(kou)，味(wei)香濃，肉(rou)質細膩，潤(run)滑爽口(kou)(kou)，口(kou)(kou)感如(ru)魚，食(shi)(shi)后余香耐人尋味(wei)。

林芝松(song)茸(rong)除了含有(you)豐富的蛋白質、氨基(ji)酸(suan)等(deng)(deng)(deng)外，還(huan)含有(you)較多(duo)的維生素和激素類。松(song)茸(rong)聚糖甘露能抵制腫瘤生長，因而有(you)一定的抗癌功(gong)效。當地人將松(song)茸(rong)用(yong)于(yu)治療手足麻木、腰酸(suan)腿痛、尿濁不禁等(deng)(deng)(deng)癥，還(huan)認為林芝松(song)茸(rong)有(you)聚精補腎，益(yi)精助(zhu)陽的作用(yong)，能改(gai)善更年期內分泌(mi)紊亂、性功(gong)能失調等(deng)(deng)(deng)等(deng)(deng)(deng)。
