Garland Truffles - Truffle Cultivation - Truffle Growing Basics
 
Close up views of mycorrhiza
Truffles are a   fungus that can only survive by attaching itself in a mutually beneficial way to   certain types of tree roots in what is called a symbiotic relationship. The   resulting combination of fungus, roots and other select organisms form a   structure called mycorrhiza.
The trees are   planted in a high density orchard at 500 trees per acre. Small plantings are not   recommended, as they will probably result in failure due to under-colonization.   With the adequate soil conditions, climate, and time span, the delectable   mushrooms are produced.
Garland Truffles   only recommends growing two types of truffle bearing trees for production, the   Black Perigord or the Black Burgundy. The Italian White should only be planted   experimentally; all other species are of inferior quality and should be avoided.
