Truffles: much more than a prized and local fungal delicacy
Truffles are hypogeous fungi which live in symbiosis with plant host roots in order to
accomplish their life cycle. Some species, such as Tuber magnatum Pico, the 'white truffle' …

Sustainable cultivation of the white truffle (Tuber magnatum) requires ecological understanding
The white truffle (Tuber magnatum Picco.; WT) is the most expensive and arguably also the
most delicious species within the genus Tuber. Due to its hidden belowground life cycle …
