About Truffles
Truffles grow in symbiosis with higher plants (trees) and require acidic soil with pH ranging from 6.5 to 8. Ideal conditions for growing truffles are in the soil with pH level slightly above 7. Since the last decade of the last century to this day the most comprehensive and productive researches on truffles have been conducted by now in Bosnia and Serbia. Since 1991 on the total territory of Bosnia and Serbia, at more than 200 locations, over 40 species of underground and semi-underground fungi have been found.
Moreover, 13 species that have been found are entirely of the real truffle. This almost means that nearly half of all known species of European truffles have been found by now in Serbia, a relatively small part of Europe, indicating indisputably a considerable abundance of our country regarding hypogeal mushrooms.
