Nat. Croat., Vol. 13, No. 2, 171–185, 2004, Zagreb. The mixed oak forest located near the town of Motovun is a well-known white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) producing area of the Istria region. Motovun Forest covers a 900-ha area in the flu- vial plain of the Mirna River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea through a hilly landscape originat- ing in a sedimentary sequence of a Triassic-Eocene carbonatic platform and Eocene-Oligocene Flysch turbidites. T. magnatum production has been decreasing in the last 10 years and a study was specifically performed in an attempt to explain this. Productive soils of the valley bottom were compared with unproductive soils on the slopes, the latter being drier, thinner and more developed than the former. T. magnatum carpophores are not found all over the fluvial plain and Motovun Forest was further subdivided into productive, unproductive and occasionally productive areas. All soils of the valley bottom were thick and continuously rejuvenated by the frequent arrival of fine sediments from slopes, but only unproductive ones were characterized by water saturation in some periods of the year.

  • Picco Vs Pico

Drawing upon official documents from the Turin State and University Archives the claim is made that the surname Picco is the correct version. This name can also be found in a contemporary review of the book Melethemata Inauguralia (Picco 1788), as well as in a biographic dictionary of Piedmontese physicians dated back to 1825. Therefore, the officially used indication since Stafleu and Cowan (1983) can be considered to be correct. Keywords: systematic botany; mushrooms; truffles; history; nomenclature; Vittorio Picco; Savoy dynasty. Riassunto In questo lavoro è stata condotta un’indagine sul cognome dell’autore delle tre specie di tartufi Tuber magnatum, T. albidum e T. rufum, che nelle banche dati di riferimento nomenclaturali dei funghi viene riportato come “Picco” e non “Pico”, come usualmente viene indicato. Sulla base dei documenti ufficiali degli Archivi di Stato e dell’Università di Torino è stato possibile accertare che, in effetti, il vero cognome è Picco.

Hall Micologia Italiana vol. 44 (2015) ISSN 2465-311X DOI: 10.6092/issn.2465-311X/5593 Current status of truffle cultivation: recent results and future perspectives ________________________________________________________________________________ Alessandra Zambonelli1, Mirco Iotti1, Ian Hall2 1Department of Agricultural Science, Bologna University, viale Fanin 46, 40127 Bologna Italy 2 Truffles & Mushrooms (Consulting) Ltd, P.O. Box 268, Dunedin, New Zealand Correspondig Author M. Iotti e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this review the current status of truffle cultivation in Europe and outside Europe is reported. While the cultivation of Tuber melanosporum (Périgord black truffle), Tuber aestivum (summer or Burgundy truffle) and Tuber borchii (bianchetto truffle) gave good results, only the Italian white truffle (Tuber magnatum), which is the most expensive, has yet to be successfully cultivated. In future a revolutionary approach to truffle cultivation would be the application of mycelial inoculation techniques for producing Tuber infected plants which will allow to select the fungal strains adapted to specific climatic, edaphic conditions and hosts. The new insights which will be gained by the extensive Tuber genome sequencing programme will also help to improve truffle cultivation techniques. Keywords: Tuber melanosporum; Tuber magnatum; Tuber borchii; Tuber aestivum; cultivation; mycelial inoculation Riassunto I tartufi sono funghi ascomiceti appartenenti all’ordine delle Pezizales anche se molti ricercatori considerano “veri tartufi” solo le specie apparteneti al genere Tuber, che comprende le specie di maggiore interesse gastronomico e commerciale quali Tuber melanosporum (tartufo nero pregiato), Tuber magnatum (tartufo bianco pregiato), Tuber aestivum (tartufo estivo o uncinato) e Tuber borchii (tartufo bianchetto). L’elevato valore economico di questi tartufi ha suscitato grande interesse riguardo la loro coltivazione fin dal lontano rinascimento.
