Shifts in soil fungal communities in Tuber melanosporum plantations over a 20-year transition from agriculture fields to oak woodlands

Forest Systems, 2016
Aim of study: To explore the diversity of soil fungi found in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations following the introduction of the mycorrhizal-colonized host tree, (Quercus ilex), through the development of the brûlé and production of mature ...

Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 4, April 2026.
Free‐ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa, of multiple age/sex classes eat diverse fungi (10 identified to species level, 3 to genus level). We assess potential nutritional, medicinal and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature.

Direct Ambient Mass Spectrometry for Food, Beverage, and Agricultural Sample Analysis and Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 429-452, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Ambient and direct mass spectrometry (MS) methods are becoming increasingly used for the rapid analysis of food, beverage and agricultural samples. Novel ionization approaches combined with targeted, or untargeted workflows provide analytical outcomes within a greatly reduced time period compared to traditional separation science coupled with ...

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Identification of volatile flavour components of Tuber melanosporum using simultaneous distillation-extraction

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2017
Black truffles are famous for their unique flavours. Headspace solid-phase microextraction and the electronic nose have been used to analyse their flavours in some investigations.

First identification of the pathogen causing tumor malformations in evergreen oaks in Spain

Forest Systems, 2014
Aim of study: In recent years an increase in pests and diseases associated with truffle plantations has been detected in Spain. The appearance of tumor malformations in trunks and branches of Quercus ilex L. must be highlighted. These bumps have expanded

Volatilome changes during black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) ontogeny

Food Research International
The aroma is critical in the reproductive biology of truffles and in their commercial quality. However, previous research has almost exclusively focused on characterizing ripe ascocarps. We characterized the volatilome of the highly-prized black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) ascocarps from July, in an early development stage, to March, in the late ...

Discovery of spontaneously fruiting Chinese black truffles in a hazelnut plantation in Bhutan

Italian Journal of Mycology
Chinese black truffle is commercially known as Tuber indicum but it represents a complex to which belong at least 6 species. The members of the T. indicum complex are reported from some Chinese provinces, as well as from India, Japan and Corea, where ...

Attraction of entomopathogenic nematodes to black truffle and its volatile organic compounds: A new approach for truffle beetle biocontrol

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
The European truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are a promising biological control agents against L. cinnamomeus. EPNs may employ multiple sensory cues while seeking for hosts, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2 gradients. We

L’agritourisme truffier dans le Vaucluse

Téoros, 2016
Vaucluse is the major producing region of black truffles (tuber melanosporum) in France. Nevertheless, the touristic valorization around the local production of this luxury food product with an international gourmet reputation is modest.
