Basically it's mycorrhizae fungi ...i was thinking basically inoculating the fungi and constantly feed it to the roots on a artificial soil dug in the ground in some sort of pot
I live in Canberra and found a few truffles in my backyard. I never planted any trees, they just grew under my oak trees naturally. At first I thought it was rocks or burnt pieces of wood and I was throwing them in the bin lol. But now I either feed it to the chickens or hand them around to neighbours. I personally do not like the taste of them.
Truffles are a class of fungi known as mychorrizal fungi. Their spores germinate (underground in nature) and a structure similar to a plant root calls a hyphae emerges. It seeks out the nearest root it is capable of infecting, in this case, only trees. Other species are very useful to increase the rate of growth and drought tolerance of crops, been using the stuff for years on my plants. Also I'd have to disagree with the farmer in this video, I have a lot of experience (perhaps not as much his regarding truffles) with the relationship between mycorhizae and plants, and a healthy, well fed tree is certainly not detrimental to the growth of the fungi's mycelium. The symbiosis occurs regardless of the health of the nutrition of the soil, the fungus itself lives off of sugars produced by the roots, they increase root volume of the tree and allow it to access pockets of water/air/nutrients otherwise not accessible with its microscopic hyphae. If anything, mycelium mass becomes larger and healthier the healthier the soil is, because there are more roots acting as potential hosts. Keep in mind when I say nutrition, I am not referring to synthetic fertilizer, the salt ions left behind when these are absorbed are very toxic to any fungi, but especially sensitive mychorizae.
He actually cultivates them, and has done it for years. Do you even know why they're so expensive? The expensive truffles are only consumed 3-15 grams at a time, as in a kilogram lasts you a veeeery long time. Resulting on a $10-40 dose to get high. All he does is plant the trees and wait for the fungi to grow, then they uproot the tree and look for the truffle.
@@SUNNY4530 probably not. They only grow in Europe. Well we figured how to grow them in a small scale in the US so you never know, but you would have to test your soil to make sure the tree can grow in the climate, and what you have to change to it’s composition to make truffles viable

What an adorable old man!
Cheers for sharing
Who knows how I get in contact with Colin the truffle grower=
Me from nepal i want to truffal plant.

taste like dirt. YUM...lol. I dont get the fascination
Nutrient-poor soil? Check.
If I have 7 older trees can I start growing them still?
Clone it into more
They should be starting to produce

barahng . Great point - I would have thought you'd aim to grow the host as much as possible.

200% SMUG could you not throw in a lot in talking 4 tablespoons of microhiza in a young tree and just get crazy truff.?
@@duramax78 no, doesnt work that way
So if I was looking to purchase a property in the mid west what type of trees am I looking for to get the best results?
the dark truffles grow in my state, but you gotta train a dog or pig to find them.
Good job 👍🏻
Do all inoculated trees produce truffles, and how can I grow truffles at home
And how many truffles a year for a 6 year old Alba white truffle inoculated English oak, and how many grams
You can't cultivate truffles
No, what is sure is if you don’t have brûlée’s you want have truffles, however if you have a brûlée you still might not have truffles.
Yes you can!
Can we start a truffles farm in India
Same question ❓

@@laheylovesliquor4331 Not the main reason! They grow in US ALSO, but they are the dark ones in US. Temps are TOO HIGH in India for success.
😲😲
and they say theres no farm

Truffles are a fungus -_-
A *delicious* fungus.
If you only knew how many fungi your own body is hosting!
Big trufle,big big trufle🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Truffles are a fungus -_-
Yes they are fungus... truffles are underground mushrooms
Yes....and what is your point?!?
