The truffle prefers alkaline soil and grows mostly in high altitude forests and cannot grow at low altitudes. There are few weeds around the place where truffles grow, and it is meant to **** with other trees, such as pines, oaks, aspens, willows, and hazelnuts, and can't survive on its own, and is harvested in large quantities around March of each year.

The truffle like to grow in what place

The truffle is generally not large enough to wait from walnut size to the size of the country light apple, large rarely. Truffles are mostly found in pine or oak forests, where truffles grow, other weeds don't grow, and there are flies.

The truffle generally prefers alkaline calcareous soil, which is coarse and loose and easily drained, and requires rain during the summer growing season, a little moisture but not too much, and it is also afraid of heavy, long rains in the spring.

Because the truffle can't photosynthesize on its own to make carbohydrates for growth, so it must live with the roots of the oak tree*** and utilize the roots of the oak tree to absorb nutrients, therefore, truffle's growth range is generally in the forest gathering among the trees.

The truffle is very picky about the growing environment, as long as the sunlight, water or the soil pH value is slightly changed will not be able to grow, is the world's only can not be planted in a neat and orderly delicacies.

The reason why truffles grow under one tree but not another that looks exactly the same is still not understood.

Unlike mushrooms and other fungi, truffle spores are spread not by the wind, but by the animals that eat them.

The truffle grows mainly under pines, oaks, hazelnuts, beeches and orange trees, this is because the truffle is unable to photosynthesize and cannot survive on its own, it must obtain nutrients by means of a ****-breeding relationship with the roots of certain trees.

The characteristics of the truffle

The growth cycle of the truffle is only 1 year, so the size of the black truffle has absolutely nothing to do with its age.

Every year, the black truffle harvesting season is about the end of March, overripe black truffles rot and disintegrate, releasing spores that begin to germinate and grow into mycelium, touching like a tree bearded root and producing **** birth relationship.

Around May, the mycelium grows larger for sexual reproduction and grows into a truffle. The newly formed baby truffles grow slowly and only begin to grow rapidly during the rainy season in August.

When the cold winds blow, the truffles stop growing and begin to ripen and darken, releasing their distinctive flavor. The ripening period lasts until March of the following year. The most delicious season is undoubtedly the following January, the best time to eat black truffles.
