Use of a Truffle Dog Provides Insight Into the Ecology and Abundant Occurrence of Genea (Pyronemataceae) in Western Oregon, USA [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionHypogeous fungi (“truffles”) are challenging to study because they produce underground sporocarps that may not be located during traditional fungal surveys.
