Grow your own Summer White Truffles with this mycelium kit
Summer White Truffles, known for their delicate flavor and subtle aroma, are gastronomic gems. With this kit, you can grow these precious truffles in your own garden.

Details

This kit contains a tube of liquid Summer White Truffle mycelium (Tuber aestivum), produced under optimal sterile conditions. The mycelium is ready to be diluted in a sugar-water solution for easy inoculation.

Summer White Truffles live in symbiosis with several types of host trees, such as:

• Oaks (green, downy, pedunculate, holm)
• Hazelnut trees
• Linden trees
• Pine trees (Aleppo and black)
• Hornbeams

They prefer clay-loam soils that are slightly alkaline to neutral (pH between 7 and 8), with good water retention but no excess moisture.

Product benefits:

• Compatible with various types of trees and natural substrates.
• A simple and effective method for starting a truffle culture.
• Enables extended fruiting under ideal conditions.
• Environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Cultivation instructions

1. Preparing the sugar water mixture :

   • Use bottled mineral water to avoid contaminants such as chlorine.
   • Add approximately 10% preservative-free apple or lemon syrup (glucose/fructose).
   • Mix 10 ml of mycelium per liter of sugar water (for example, 15 ml for a 1.5-liter bottle).
   • Gently shake to distribute the mycelium evenly.

2. Mycelium development :

   • Place the mixture in a dark room at a stable temperature of at least 20°C.
   • Let it rest for at least 4 to 5 days, until the mycelial filaments develop and the liquid becomes cloudy.

3. Soil inoculation :

   • Directly on the roots : Gently expose the roots of young trees (1 to 2 years old). Rinse them to remove impurities, then immerse them in the mycelium mixture for 10 to 15 minutes before replanting.
   • Soil inoculation : Dig holes or furrows around the target trees (approximately 1 meter from the trunk).
     • Add a layer of substrate (fine peat, vermiculite, or sand) mixed with the mycelium.
     • Water lightly to maintain moisture, but avoid waterlogged soil.

4. Environmental conditions :

   • Humidity : Maintain constant moisture during the first weeks after inoculation.
   • Temperature : Ideally between 10°C and 25°C.
   • Exposure : Choose partially shaded areas or filtered sunlight. Lightly prune the trees to allow good light penetration.

Seasonality and harvest

• Inoculation : Spring or early autumn, when weather conditions are mild and humid.
• Expected fruiting : Summer White Truffles generally fruit from September to December, but production can sometimes take several years (usually 5 to 10 years after inoculation).
