Is it easy to grow truffles?
    #8440176 - 05/24/08 12:46 PM (15 years, 10 months ago)

I'm looking into getting a grow kit for edible truffles but how easy is it?

I know that its fairly hard to grow shrooms. Getting everything sterile, avoiding contams and getting ambient conditions for fruiting is certainly not easy. I succeeded a few times but it was painstaking and difficult.

I'm hoping if I get a truffle kit it will be as simple as following the instructions and waiting for my truffles!

Anybody have experience of these kits

There's a reason they're so rare...

they have these kits(saplings) on google you have to wait like 3 years for truffels, they live in the root system of a maple tree or some crap

Mushies should be relatively easy. The PF tek makes success hard to avoid, even considoring contams. I had a lot of success with PF before I ever started even using a still air box, give it another shot. As for truffles, yeah as afforementioned there is a reason they are so rare and expensive. You could try with the kits off of google like grod was talking about but I wouldnt hold out great amounts of hope. Companies that do truffles commercially have forrests of trees prime for hosting the parasitic goodness, and spend rediculous amounts of money on pigs bred to smell them out. If you could pioneer an indoor grow setup for them you could be a rich individual... What Im waiting on is a simplified indoor tek for morels... mmmmmmmm....

the highly prized truffles (black perigord from france, white alba truffles from italy) can only be found in the wild. in france they use pigs to hunt them, in italy they use dogs. you might be able tyo grow another kind of truffle, but they they will be nowhere as tasty.

These kits are sclerotia (philosophers stones) I don't think they are the same as the truffles you guys are thinking of.
