Influence of soil geochemistry on the chemical composition of the summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) [PDF]

, 2021
Mycorrhizal fungi, such as truffles, absorb elements from a substrate through their mycelium and provide the symbiotic plant with minerals and water, while accumulating metals to prevent their passage into the plant. Due to the popularity of summer truffles in human diet, determination of their elemental composition is important to determine the ...

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Nutrient Elements Contained in Tuber aestivum (Summer Truffle) Mushroom

Journal of Fungus
Truffles have been known as valuable food for centuries, especially in France and Italy, and they have high monetary value and grow under the soil. They grow naturally in the Mediterranean climate zone, including our country. The aromas emitted by different Tuber species are highly varied; these strong, intense, persistent aromas are essential for ...

Next Generation Sequencing genomic analysis of bacteria from soils of the sites with naturally-occurring summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.)

Annals of Forest Research, 2022
The rhizosphere is the region of soil in which the highest densities of fungi and bacteria occur. In this study, an attempt was made to assess the distribution of bacterial species in soil where the summer truffle Tuber aestivum Vittad. bears fruit in selected stands in Poland.
