. The widespread genus contains 25 truffle-like species. ''Elaphomyces'' is one of the most important ectomycorrhizal fungal genera in temperate and subarctic forest ecosystems. ''E. asperulus'', ''E. granulatus'', and ''E. muricatus'' were found to accumulate arsenic (12–660 mg/kg in dry mass); the composition of organoarsenicals is very unusual, with methylarsonic acid and trimethylarsine oxide as major As compounds.
