Taming the Truffle: The History, Lore, and Science of the Ultimate Mushroom

Truffles have been a delicacy for ages, and traditional methods and lore about collecting these elusive mushrooms have been passed down for generations, but there has been little long-term success in artificially cultivating them. Insatiable tastes for truffles have led to high prices and more intense and creative efforts to cultivate them. This book gives comprehensive coverage to the truffle and its cultivation, considering the science and intensive economic pressures driving advances in cultivation. It presents the latest research, along with descriptions of efforts around the globe to grow and harvest truffles.
