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.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Non-Targeted Lipidome Analysis and Extraction of Markers for the Authentication of White and Black Truffle Species and Their Origin Determination

Agriculture
The visual authentication of high-value truffles (Tuber magnatum and Tuber melanosporum) is challenging, as they share similar morphological characteristics with other truffle species that have a lower economic value. This similarity complicates accurate

Warming benefits to sheep fescue are negated by nearby plants and moss–lichen layers facilitate mycorrhizae in a tundra

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract In systems where low temperatures limit plant productivity, facilitative effects of surrounding vegetation on juvenile plants may outweigh effects of competition for resources. This facilitation could occur through temperature buffering but also via increased availability of root mutualists such as mycorrhizal fungi.

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 ...

Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...

Food Authentication: Truffle (Tuber spp.) Species Differentiation by FT-NIR and Chemometrics

Foods, 2020
Truffles are certainly the most expensive mushrooms; the price depends primarily on the species and secondly on the origin. Because of the price differences for the truffle species, food fraud is likely to occur, and the visual differentiation is ...

Bovine Collagen Peptide Improves Hypoxia Tolerance and Anti‐Fatigue Capacity in Hypobaric Hypoxic Environments: A Combined Animal and Human Study

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study represents the first demonstration that BCP can significantly enhance hypoxia tolerance and anti‐fatigue capacity under hypobaric hypoxia conditions, as confirmed by both animal and human experiments. ABSTRACT Peptides are recognized in functional foods for their biological activities.

Peat‐based amendment of soils reduces the complexity of the volatile profile in cultivated black truffles

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 14, Page 8945-8952, November 2024.
Abstract BACKGROUND Truffle cultivation is evolving rapidly and new agronomic practices such as ‘truffle nests’ (localized peat amendments of the orchard soil) are being developed. Truffle nests improve the shape of truffles and their depth in the soil and reduce the occurrence of insect damage but have also raised concerns about their impact on the ...

In vitro interactions between Bradyrhizobium spp. and Tuber magnatum mycelium

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2024.
Tuber magnatum mycelium, together with its associated bacteria (Bradirhizobium spp.), were isolated for the first time. Cultural and phylogenetic analyses revealed the specificity of this interaction. Abstract Tuber magnatum is the most expensive truffle, but its large‐scale cultivation is still a challenge compared to other valuable Tuber species.
