Risk and reward of the global truffle sector under predicted climate change [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Climate change has been described as the main threat for the cultivation and growth of truffles, but hydroclimate variability and model uncertainty challenge regional projections and adaptation strategies of the emerging sector.

ECONOMICALLY AND ALIMENTARY IMPORTANT TRUFFLE SPECIES, ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRUFFLE CULTURE IN XIROMERO REGION

Agricultura, 2012
Subterranean Fungi of the genus Tuber live and grow only in symbiosis, with certain trees or plants roots (various species of oak, hazel, pine, linden, poplar, juniper, etc.), requiring specific pedoclimatic conditions.

Chemical composition of summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) from Bosnia and Herzegovina

EUREKA: Life Sciences, 2023
Ascocarps of summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) were found in natural oak and beech forests on calcareous soils, at altitude of 840–850 m, near the town of Šipovo in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), with the help of trained dogs.  Until now, no one in B&H has researched the chemical composition of summer truffle.

Spatio-temporal dynamic of Tuber magnatum mycelium in natural truffle grounds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Tuber magnatum produces the world's most expensive truffle. This fungus produces very rare ectomycorrhizas which are difficult or even impossible to detect in the field. A "real-time" PCR assay was recently developed to quantify and to track T.

Current status of truffle cultivation: recent results and future perspectives

Italian Journal of Mycology, 2015
In this review the current status of truffle cultivation in Europe and outside Europe is reported. While the cultivation of Tuber melanosporum (Périgord black truffle), Tuber aestivum (summer or Burgundy truffle) and Tuber borchii (bianchetto truffle ...

Sporadic Appetites: Unearthing the Fungal Diets of Two Mycophagous Mammals Across an Australian Climate Gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated the fungal dietary preferences of boodies and woylies across Mediterranean, semi‐arid and arid regions of Australia using DNA metabarcoding of scat samples, providing a comprehensive molecular characterisation of mycophagous feeding patterns for these species across broad climate gradients.

Morphological characteristics of summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) from Bosnia and Herzegovina

EUREKA: Life Sciences, 2022
The aim of this paper is to present as accurately as possible the morphological characteristics of the summer truffle, found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to compare them with the characteristics of the previously described specimens in other countries and regions.

Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
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.

Use of a Truffle Dog Provides Insight Into the Ecology and Abundant Occurrence of Genea (Pyronemataceae) in Western Oregon, USA. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Genea is an overlooked but abundant underground fruiting fungus (“truffle”). We used a dog who is trained to find all truffles (not just culinary species) to look for Genea in Oregon. We found that Genea fruits nearly year‐round, but does not often fruit in areas impacted by wildfires.
