Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and a diverse group of
soil fungi. Mycorrhizal symbiosis is categorized into discrete types based on the structural …

Truffles, symbiotic fungi renown for the captivating aroma of their fruiting bodies, are
colonized by a complex bacterial community of unknown function. We characterized the …

Perhaps with the exception of a small number of cultivated saprobic species, the true truffles
(Tuber spp.) command the attention of more scientists than other species of mushroom …

Aroma variability in truffles has been attributed to maturation (Tuber borchii), linked to
environmental factors (Tuber magnatum), but the involvement of genetic factors has been …

Abstract Tuber magnatum Picco, the Italian white truffle, and T. borchii Vittad., the bianchetto
truffle, are two European white truffles that command high prices because of their excellent …

Truffle (Tuber spp.) cultivation is based on raising mycorrhizal trees in greenhouses that
have been inoculated with suspensions of ascospores. The problem with this is that pests …

The genome of the ectomycorrhizal ascomycete Tubermelanosporum has recently been
published and this has given researchers unique opportunities to learn more about the …

Truffles (Tuber spp.) are the fruiting bodies of symbiotic fungi, which are prized food
delicacies. The marked aroma variability observed among truffles of the same species has …

Although Tuber borchii is a commercially valuable truffle, its habitat has been virtually
ignored. Here, we examine the ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in natural T. borchii …

Large-scale production of high-quality mycorrhizal plants in the greenhouse is mainstay for
the modern cultivation of edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (EEMMs). Success at this step …
