Mycorrhizal competition release and microbial dynamics in native and non-native <i>Tuber melanosporum</i> habitats. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol
Truffles in the genus Tuber (Pezizales) are among the few ectomycorrhizal taxa successfully cultivated worldwide. Australia has recently become one of the top producers of Tuber melanosporum, a high-valued black truffle native to Europe.

Microbial communities inhabiting the surface and gleba of white (<i>Tuber magnatum</i>) and black (<i>Tuber macrosporum</i>) truffles from Russia. [PDF]

PeerJ
The complex symbiotic relationships between truffles and their microbiota, coupled with their obligate mycorrhizal lifestyle, present significant challenges for obtaining axenic mycelium and achieving controlled cultivation.

Bacterial communities show distinctive spatial diversity patterns in productive truffle orchards amended with peat-based substrate. [PDF]

Environ Microbiome
As truffle cultivation expands, growers empirically develop new agronomic management practices aimed at promoting truffle growth such as “truffle nests”, localized peat amendments that are supplemented with truffle spore inoculum.

Effect of Selected Truffle-Associated Bacteria and Fungi on the Mycorrhization of <i>Quercus ilex</i> Seedlings with <i>Tuber melanosporum</i>. [PDF]

BioTech (Basel)
The success of truffle cultivation is especially dependent on the quality of truffle-mycorrhized seedlings, which are typically produced in nurseries under aseptic conditions to avoid root colonization by undesired ectomycorrhizal fungi.

Cultivation and mating of the truffle Tuber japonicum in plantations of ectomycorrhizal Quercus serrata seedlings. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol
Tuber japonicum, a white-colored truffle that is endemic to Japan, is promising for culinary purposes due to its unique aroma. We were able to cultivate T. japonicum in plantations of inoculated Quercus serrata seedlings for the first time.

High-throughput sequencing reveals endophytic bacterial differentiation of common truffles (<i>Tuber</i> spp.) in China: diversity, biogeographical patterns, and fungal health implications. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr
As valuable hypogeous fungi, truffles depend on fruiting-body-associated microorganisms for lifecycle functions like growth and nutrient cycling. This study sampled fruiting bodies of 10 Tuber species from 16 sites across six major truffle-producing ...

Effects of Black and White Mulch on Mycelial Growth of Tuber Species in Korean Field Environment. [PDF]

Mycobiology
Truffles, belonging to the genus Tuber, are ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that form underground ascocarps and primarily establish symbiosis with oaks and hazels. The cultivation of Tuber spp.
