It is possible to grow truffles by yourself. Here are four different easy and affordable projects,
If you are transplanting trees from truffle areas, make sure that you source responsibly. To a great extent, the future of these forests is in our hands.
Recipe for truffle spore slurry
• How to Grow Truffles f...
100 g fresh or frozen truffle (or 22 g of dried truffle or 1 g of truffle spores)
50 g fructose
40 g vermiculite
100 ml of distilled water (or rain water or spring water)
For the truffle solution leave out the vermiculite and dilute 100 ml of the solution with 10 litres of water. This will be sufficient for re-inoculating at least 20 trees.

Thank you for your hard work of these videos. Taking my mushroom certification course here in Michigan. I had no idea we even had truffles Tuber canaliculatum .. odered some truffle oil yesterday and have the perfect dog to start training. After watching your videos I'm 100% can make this happen.. thank you so much

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Let me know how the training goes and if you run into any difficulties

Tuber canaliculatum is also the main focus at msu

Have never tried canaliculatum but have heard rave reviews from a couple of chefs who know their truffles

Hello Julie. I have been trying method 4 for 3 forests that give very low amount of truffles already and will see how it will result in following seasons. So thanks for the idea. By the way do you consider adding anything different than fructose to help spores to stick to roots, any idea what it might be which is cheaper and does the same job?. Also for new inoculations to get faster rooting what do you think about adding IBA and NAA?. Also what do you think about adding lime to soil to boost PH above 7.5, is it better to have a higher ph or a more balanced number?. Also what do you think about leonardite?. Thank you 👍

What type of truffles usually grow there? I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how your experiment goes. We have been doing this for a couple of years with aestivum too - it is hard to say how much of a difference it makes because there are so many other factors that could be influencing production - but we saw a definite increase last year. We also started with magnatum spores for the first time this January - unfortunately there is not a lot of literature available for this species, so we are making it up as we go along. As for rooting chemicals, we have a project going in the garden with hazel cuttings (no roots) which have been potted in slurry, peat, lime and IBA. Waiting to see what happens

@@TheRealTruffleHunters Borchii, Brumale, Aestivum and Uncinatum. We focused on Borchii and Brumale. Borchii for pines and Brumale for C.Avellana. Inoculated Borchii for pine forest with oaks inside where we coul find borchii and aestivum but in low amounts. Also inoculated brumale to hazelnut gardens as my country has the %75 production f hazelnuts and I am exactly living in the region of it on alluvial soil. There has been already some brumale findings in region and using the same slurry but with a few more different materials to boost the production. What are the ratios of peat and lime on the soil mixture you using btw?. Thank you.

Here in the great lakes region we get lake effect snow and rain 30 miles inland it starts.. called the snow belt ... do you think those Tubers would like the higher moisture in that snow belt or more dry areas ?

@TheRealTruffleHunters 2 месяца назад

European truffles are sensitive to temperature and can only be cultivated successfully in certain states. Here's a link www.americantruffle.com/areas-suitable-climate-perigord-truffle/ I am not sure to what extent canaliculatum is being cultivated, but you seem to be in its native habitat. That would be a really interesting experiment if you can pick up a few oak saplings - quercus rubra - and look into the growth factors!

@victorbenner539 2 месяца назад

Howdy lady. We talked on rhis subject once. I believe that a increase in successful inoculation is the spores passing through a mammals digestive system. Im wondering if any university are studying that effect. Anyway great video. I have a favor to ask. Who does that song you played? Plus the name of the song. I very much wish to use it in some of my videos. I messed up a shoot the other day. Im going to have to start again. Have a great day 🌤

@TheRealTruffleHunters 2 месяца назад

Hi Victor..There are several studies that focus on how various creatures help disperse the spores, this one looks at insects www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352249622000428, others examine the role of slugs and small mammals eg crested porcupines link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00572-018-0840-1. In our experiment this is the role of the fructose component of the slurry - I remember your suggestion that we eat truffles and collect what comes out the other end in a bucket to scatter on truffle sites. Love the idea but not sure how it would go down as a video! As for the song -there are 5 different ones in that video so if you give me the time I can tell you!

Couldn't we just feed the dogs truffles then use the dog poo to grow more?

@TheRealTruffleHunters 2 месяца назад

Yes, the natural way! Dog waste is fine for composting but it guidelines recommend avoiding dog poo if you are growing for human consumption - I think there is a danger of E.coli and other such nastiness
