Italian White Truffles (Tuber Borchii) Spores
    #18816623 - 09/08/13 08:26 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I have recently obtained a few grams of (Tuber Borchii) Truffle Spores from a truffle grower in Spain. They use this Inoculant to infect small trees with endomycorrhizal Truffle spawn. (Tuber Borchii) or AKA
(bianchetto white truffles) are one of the only Truffles that are adaptable in many climates, and can inhabit a wide range a Tree hosts. This makes them an excellent candidate for commercial cultivation, Unlike the French Black Perigord, that is to date extremely difficult to produce outside of a small environment in France and parts of Italy. I need help germinating, and Isolating a pure strain from the Spores I purchased from Spain, so I may Inoculate many small Hazelnut Trees I have Growing. Who has the expertise, and wants to help with this project?

there's a truffle farm in east tennessee.  it was on a 60 minutes piece, there's probably some info out there on the web.  something about compatible climate, soil, etc, and they may have imported the oak species as well.

I would give anything to get my hands on some of those spores.
But being in Australia I'm finding it rather difficult to get the spores of anything really.

My planning ,failing on getting spores, is to clone the white truffle.

Yes I know of a few so called Perigord Truffle Growers in the US....Most are selling infected trees with no promise if they will ever produce.
Its a bit of a scam in my opinion...There are a few of them making Millions selling the hopes of a lucrative truffle farm to people with  money in places like Napa Valley's Wealthy Wineries....There have yet to be any commercial Truffles produced to speak of.

Hi there,

I am a lab tech at Aloha Medicinals and I would love to help you with this project! I have recently been experimenting with truffles myself, and now have some oak acorns I want to inoculate. I just got this amazing green house to grow everything in! A comment on your hazel nut trees, did you grow them in agar or at least autoclaved soil that was sealed with a filter? There is a theory that these trees make their microbial bonds for life the instant they pop oak of their seed shell, so they may not be viable for your spores... Definitely send me a message (I am only on forums on Mondays mostly now days).
