Extended data:
Truffles are born in the shallow soil layer or rhizosphere soil of coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests such as Pinus armandii, Cunninghamia lanceolata, Quercus acutissima and Coriaria sinica. Truffles are mycorrhizal fungi, so it is usually easy to find them in close contact with the roots of trees. The spore diffusion of truffles is accomplished by animals that eat fungi. I prefer well-drained and neutral or alkaline muddy or calcareous soil. Truffles have fruits all year round, and according to different kinds, they can be found buried between litter and soil.
Truffles (truffles) have unique fragrance, taste and nutritional value, and human beings have been eating truffles for thousands of years. In developed countries such as Europe and America, truffles are known as "black diamonds" and are the best of wild mushrooms. They are also known as the three treasures together with caviar and foie gras.
