There are some plants that are more suitable than others for the birth of truffles. The truffle hunters know it well, in fact when they go in search, they observe some plants of the wood, the so-called symbiotic plants, that is those that establish that particular bond with the truffle spores and therefore create the mycorrhizal symbiosis in the roots. For example, the black hornbeam, the holm oak, the linden, the hazelnut and the downy oak (that is the tree that we commonly call oak), the white poplar and the black poplar, the Turkey oak, to name a few.

The soil must be rich in calcium and calcareous, also better if close to a stream but there should be no stagnation, on the contrary the soil must be well ventilated. The spring rains and above all the summer ones favor the appearance of the truffle, as is the case with all the other mushrooms.
