Tuber (fungus)
''Tuber'' is a genus in the fungus, fungal family Tuberaceae, with estimated molecular dating to the end of the Jurassic period (156 Mya). It includes several species of truffles that are highly valued as delicacies. New discoveries In 2015, a new species ''Tuber petrophilum'' (close relative to ''Tuber melanosporum'' and ''Tuber brumale'') was discovered in the Dinaric Alps (Southeastern Europe, Serbia). In 2016, two new species were discovered in Brazil. ''Tuber floridanum'' (with the commercial name Trufa Sapucaya meaning 'The last Guaraní people, Guarany breath') and ''Tuber brennemanii'' grow in association with pecan rootlets.

Tuber Gibbosum
''Tuber gibbosum'', commonly known as the Oregon white truffle, is a species of truffle in the genus ''Tuber (fungus), Tuber''. It is found in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where it grows in an mycorrhiza, ectomycorrhizal association with Douglas-fir. It is commercially collected between as early as October and into March. Taxonomy and phylogeny The species was first described by American mycologist Harvey Wilson Harkness in 1899. The specific name (botany), specific epithet derives from the Latin word ''gibbosum'' meaning "humped", and refers to the irregular lobes and humps on larger specimens. ''T. gibbosum'' is part of the ''gibbosum'' clade of the genus ''Tuber''. Species in this clade have unusual "peculiar wall thickenings on hyphal tips emerging from the peridial surface at maturity." ''T. gibbosum'' resembles the similar species ''Tuber oregonense, T. oregonense'', and both are found growing under Douglas fir. Edibility ''Tuber gib ...

Jurassic Period
The Jurassic ( ) is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately 143.1 Mya. The Jurassic constitutes the second and middle period of the Mesozoic Era as well as the eighth period of the Phanerozoic Eon and is named after the Jura Mountains, where limestone strata from the period were first identified. The start of the Jurassic was marked by the major Triassic–Jurassic extinction event, associated with the eruption of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). The beginning of the Toarcian Age started around 183 million years ago and is marked by the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event, a global episode of oceanic anoxia, ocean acidification, and elevated global temperatures associated with extinctions, likely caused by the eruption of the Karoo-Ferrar large igneous provinces. The end of the Jurassic, however, has no clear, definitive boundary with t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Guaraní People
The Guarani are a group of culturally-related Indigenous peoples of South America. They are distinguished from the related Tupi people, Tupi by their use of the Guarani language. The traditional range of the Guarani people is in what is now Paraguay between the Paraná River and lower Paraguay River, the Misiones Province, Misiones Province of Argentina, southern Brazil once as far east as Rio de Janeiro, and parts of Uruguay and Bolivia. Although their demographic dominance of the region has been reduced by European colonization of the Americas, European colonisation and the commensurate rise of mestizos, there are contemporary Guarani populations in Paraguay and parts of Argentina and Bolivia. Most notably, the Guarani language, still widely spoken across traditional Guarani homelands, is one of the two official languages in Paraguay, the other one being Spanish. The Paraguayan population learns Guarani both informally from social interaction and formally in public schools. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tuber Melanosporum
''Tuber melanosporum'', called the black truffle, Périgord truffle or French black truffle, is a species of truffle native to Southern Europe. It is one of the most expensive edible fungi in the world. In 2013, the truffle cost between 1,000 and 2,000 euros per kilogram. Description The round, dark brown fruiting bodies ( ascocarps) have a black-brown skin with small pyramidal cusps. They have a strong, aromatic smell and normally reach a size of up to . Some may be significantly larger, such as a black truffle found in 2012 in Dordogne with a mass of . Their flesh is initially white, then dark. It is permeated by white veins, which turn brown with age. The spores are elliptical and measure about 22–55 μm by 20–35 μm. They are dark brown and covered with large spikes. In the Northern Hemisphere, the fruiting bodies develop from April to June and are harvested from November to March. Until 2010, all truffle species were thought to be homothallic, that is, ca ...

Truffle
A truffle is the Sporocarp (fungi), fruiting body of a subterranean ascomycete fungus, one of the species of the genus ''Tuber (fungus), Tuber''. More than one hundred other genera of fungi are classified as truffles including ''Geopora'', ''Peziza'', ''Choiromyces'', and ''Leucangium''. These genera belong to the class Pezizomycetes and the Pezizales order. Several truffle-like basidiomycetes are excluded from Pezizales, including ''Rhizopogon'' and ''Glomus''. Truffles are ectomycorrhizal fungi, so they are found in close association with tree roots. Spore dispersal is accomplished through fungivores, animals that eat fungi. These fungi have ecological roles in nutrient cycling and drought tolerance. Some truffle species are prized as food.English translation Edible truffles are used in Italian cuisine, Italian, ...

Tuberaceae
The Tuberaceae () are a family of mycorrhizal fungi, in the order Pezizales, that evolved during or after the first major adaptive radiation of Angiosperms in the Jurassic period (140–180 million years ago, Mya). It includes the genus ''Tuber'', which includes the so-called "true" truffles. It was characterized by the Belgian botanist Barthélemy Charles Joseph du Mortier in 1822. A molecular study of ribosomal DNA by mycologist Kerry O'Donnell in 1997 found that a small clade now redefined as Helvellaceae The Helvellaceae are a family of ascomycete fungi, the best-known members of which are the elfin saddles of the genus ''Helvella''. Originally erected by Elias Magnus Fries in 1823 as ''Elvellacei'', it contained many genera. Several of these, s ... is most closely related to the Tuberaceae. The mycologist Mary Cloyd Burnley Stifler studied and described this fungal family, donating specimens to herbariums across the United States. References Pezizales Truffles ( ...

Tuber Aestivum
The summer truffle (''Tuber aestivum'') or burgundy truffle (''Tuber uncinatum'') is a species of truffle, found in almost all European countries. Taxonomy In cuisine and commerce, particularly in France and Italy, the summer truffle (''T. aestivum'') is distinguished from the burgundy truffle (''T. uncinatum''). However, molecular analysis showed in 2004 that these two varieties of truffle are one species. The differences between them are therefore likely due to environmental factors. This article uses the older of the two binomial names, or senior synonym, ''T. aestivum'', to designate the species,As recommended by Hall et al., 63. while discussing the characteristics of the two varieties separately. Burgundy truffles Burgundy truffles (; or ''scorzone'', "bark"; ; ; ), have a hazelnut-like aroma and are prized for their gastronomic qualities. They are used in the ''haute cuisine'' of France and Italy, sometimes as a less expensive, milder substitute for the Périgord black ...
