“…Granetti et al (2005) indicate that T. indicum inhabits calcareous soil with a pH between 5.5 (due to organic matter) and 8.5. García-Montero et al (2008) confirm that T. indicum and T. pseudoexcavatum mycorrhizae grow well in calcareous substrates rich in active carbonate, which is similar to the requirements for the development of T. melanosporum.…”

Truffles are abundant in some regions of China. Nevertheless, it was not until the 1980s that Tuber species were discovered by Chinese mycologists. In recent years, international truffle markets have shown an increasing interest in the import of Chinese Tuber. These truffles serve as a complement to European truffles due to their lower prices and their greater availability in a deficit market. However, Chinese truffles have been the subject of fraudulent commercial practices, and these could have a negative effect on truffle culture. These concerns have been behind numerous recent studies designed to obtain detailed information about Chinese Tuber species. Unfortunately, many of these studies are not published in English, and are dispersed throughout the specific local or national bibliography and proceedings of specialized truffle conferences. In view of the need to expand current knowledge of Chinese Tuber species, we present a comprehensive summary of the taxonomy, ecology, mycorrhizae, genetics, biochemistry, and cultivation of Chinese Tuber species. We also provide a synthetic taxonomy and morphological characterization of 16 Chinese Tuber species in order to assist in their verification and monitoring.

“…Several of the specimens observed show forms with intermediate features in between the two types. Manjón et al (1998) and García-Montero et al (2008) synthesized T. pseudoexcavatum and T. indicum mycorrhizae with Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.)…”

Abstract:The production of mycorrhizal fungi provides higher economic returns than any other forest product in many Mediterranean woods. In these areas, truffles (Tuber spp.) and mushrooms of Boletus and Lactarius genus are the fungi that yield the highest economic benefits. However, there are still evident gaps in the understanding of the truffle's biological cycles, ecology and interactions with host plants and other fungi. In the last 12 years, Spanish research has begun to respond to the requirements of truffle research. Most of Spanish Tuber references deal with the areas of agronomy, forestry, ecology and soil science. In this respect, Spain is one of the main truffle-producing countries in the world and its varied climate, topography and lithology make it a useful geographic area for increasing knowledge on Tuber ecology and truffle production. This work describes the content of Spanish research and its impact on the knowledge of truffles.

“…Chinese black truffles also grow in evergreen broad-leaved forests but fruiting is lower in these areas [6]. However, Chinese truffles of T. indicum complex can also form ectomycorrhizas with European oaks and pine [27][28][29][30]. They have also been found in cultivated T. melanosporum truffières in Italy [31] and in American T. melanosporum orchards, probably as a result of the use of contaminated spore inoculum in the nursery [32].…”

Two specimens of Tuber aestivum sensu lato from China were found between T. aestivum ascomata for sale in Italy. The morphological features of these ascomata were intermediate between those of T. aestivum and Tuber mesentericum. The spores were roundish and smaller than those of T. mesentericum and T. aestivum. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the Chinese specimens are placed in a separate clade to T. aestivum and T. mesentericum. This, together with the supporting morphological differences, strongly suggests that the two Chinese truffles are a separate taxon.
