The defendants make up nearly all the male population of the tiny village of Nar, 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) high in the Himalayas, where the bodies of seven men who disappeared after going to hunt for the plant were found in 2009.
The 36 all deny murder and say the victims, who were from outside the village, died accidentally when a fight broke out over the right to hunt for the rare parasitic plant, Yarchagumba.

He was in charge of three accommodation complexes for people with special needs - but used his position to steal bank cards, PIN numbers and cash.
Leavy spent thousands in the sex shop - where staff nicknamed him the 'Golden Root Man' after the large quantities of the 'herbal Viagra' that he bought there.

Other people are believed to have been involved in the scam, although nobody else was arrested.
All Brussels officials and politicians can get the erectile dysfunction medication for free if needed and they can even claim for methadone under the European Commission scheme.
Other free options include penis implants, the UK Independence Party discovered.
Marta Andreasen, an MEP for the party, said: “It is utterly bonkers what British taxpayers are funding for Eurocrats.
“Surely if they want these things, they should be able to pay themselves. It is a total waste of taxpayers’ cash.”
Official guidelines for claims reads: “Treatments with Viagra will from now on be reimbursable.”
The document also says the cost of drugs used during withdrawal treatment for addicts should be reimbursed in full.
It adds: “These products qualify for a special reimbursement at the rate of 100 per cent for a maximum of six months.”
Last year it was revealed MEPs receive public funding for massages and feng shui. Other perks which qualify include mud baths, hydromassage and mild electric shock treatment.
The TaxPayers’ Alliance last night blasted the wasteful perks in Brussels. Spokesman Matthew Sinclair said: “Taxpayers expect to see their money spent on providing essential services, not Viagra. The Government should insist on a better deal from Brussels.
A golden pestle which could have been used to mix ‘Roman Viagra‘ has been found in Cornwall.
The rare item could have been used as a portable pestle for crushing love potions, and also serve as a fertility and status symbol, hung around the neck of its owner.
The pendant, which is less than an inch-and-a-half long and weighs just a fifth of an ounce, is shaped provocatively like a bull’s horns.
The gold pendant was most likely part of the vanity set of a Romano-British noble, some time between the first and fourth century, say experts.
A DRIVER told police he was unable to carry out a breath test — because of side effects from a Viagra-style pill he had taken.
Neil Macdonald was stopped by police while behind the wheel of his Volkswagen Golf in Sinclair Street, Greenock, just after 8.25am under suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.
He was taken to Greenock Police Station to provide two samples, but failed to blow into the machine.
Macdonald claimed he was breathless because of the anti-impotency tablet he had taken 90 minutes before.
Macdonald denied failing to provide police with two specimens of breath for analysis on 12 December but was convicted after a trial at Greenock Sheriff Court last week.
Macdonald claimed he had taken Levitra, an anti-impotence drug prescribed to him by his doctor, at 7am.
Medical evidence provided by his defence team suggested Macdonald was telling the truth when claiming he was unable to blow hard enough into the machine to give a reading.
A report from Doctor Paul Skett said shortness of breath was a well-known side effect of the drug.
The court heard the 43-year-old, while in custody, had also asked officers if water he had drunk from the toilet would affect his alcohol reading.
After being asked to blow into the police testing equipment, the court heard Macdonald began to wheeze and cough, claiming the Levitra had left him too breathless to provide a sample.
After a two-hour trial, Macdonald was convicted by Sheriff Rajni Swanney, who said she was unimpressed by the accused’s claims.
Macdonald, of Clydeshore Road, Dumbarton, had sentence deferred until later this week.
On Tuesday reported a 9 percent rise in second-quarter profit, trouncing Wall Street expectations as revenue jumped 58 percent due to favourable currency rates and its mega-acquisition of fellow drug maker Wyeth last October. Shares jumped 5 percent on the surprisingly strong report.
The maker of cholesterol blockbuster Lipitor and impotence pill Viagra said net income for the three months ended July 4 rose to $2.48 billion, or 31 cents per share. A year ago, income was $2.26 billion, or 34 cents a share. Pfizer has since sold millions of new shares to help pay for Wyeth.
Pfizer, the world’s biggest drug maker by sales, reported revenue of $17.33 billion, up from $10.98billion last year, mainly due to $5.4 billion from Wyeth products. U.S. sales jumped 63 percent and foreign sales, 54 percent.
Excluding 31 cents in one-time items, income was $4.96 billion, or 62 cents a share. Those items included $1.1 billion before taxes for integrating Wyeth’s systems, employee severance and other restructuring, plus $2.1 billion before taxes for various charges related to buying Wyeth.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected 52 cents a share on revenue of $16.65 billion.
