A Detailed Explanation of Black Truffle Planting Techniques and Cultivation Management Points

Black truffle is a food ingredient of extremely high value, and together with caviar and foie gras it is known as one of the world's top three delicacies, so its price is very high. Then what are the black truffle planting techniques?

1. What are the black truffle planting techniques?

Black truffle cannot be artificially cultivated. Because black truffle spreads its spores through those animals that gnaw on truffles, and then relies on the symbiotic relationship between the roots of trees such as pine, hazel, orange and oak to obtain nutrients and survive. Generally, if problems appear in the trees, black truffle also cannot survive.

2. Where does black truffle generally grow?

Black truffle is generally more abundant in alkaline calcareous soil, and the surrounding area generally needs larger tree species such as oak, pine, linden and beech. Because the mountain forests in many areas are now polluted by human activities, or rainfall causes the soil to become acidic and the types of trees to change, the truffle yield is becoming smaller and smaller. So at present truffles are only found in the primitive forests of Yunnan and Sichuan, and since they cannot be artificially cultivated, the price is naturally expensive.

In general, black truffle cannot be artificially planted, and can only grow by absorbing nutrients from surrounding plants through the fungal hyphae, so it is very valuable.
