Truffle species

Eight Tuber species harvested in Istria and the surrounding European range — season, appearance, aroma, habitat and the species each is most often mistaken for.

Tuber is a genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Ascomycota whose fruiting bodies develop underground. “Truffle” therefore does not name a single species. What a truffle is and how we know.
