Truffles, belong to the Tuber genus of the Tuberaceae family and are the fruit of a mycorrhizal fungi and have been worldwide regarded as ecologically and commercially valuable. Truffle mushroom, known for its culinary value, has a very high nutritional value. Truffles, are a distinct category of hypogeous fungi known for their unique aroma and exceptional nutritional value. Truffles are expensive because they are rare and difficult to grow, making them one of the most expensive foods in the world. The fact that it is difficult to find in nature and is gastronomically valuable has led to the development of culturing methods for truffle mushrooms. Truffles can grow in temperate climates, including regions of Türkiye Italy, France, Spain, Australia and the US. Interest in truffle hunting and trade in Türkiye has been increasing in recent years.
In this study, truffle species were determined in different localities of Aydın, Denizli, Muğla, and Uşak and the truffle potential of these provinces were revealed. Naturally growing in Aegean region, obtained from the field studies constitute the main materials. Photographs of the collected specimens were taken and their ecological and morphological characteristic were recorded. The aim of the study is to determine the naturally growing truffle habitats in the Aegean Region and to highlight the regions with truffle potential.
Trüf mantarları, Tuber cinsine ait olan ve Tuberaceae familyasında yer alan mikorhizal mantarlardır ve ekolojik ve ticari açıdan büyük öneme sahiptir. Mutfak değeri ile tanınan trüf mantarları, nadir olmaları ve yüksek besin içeriği nedeniyle dünyadaki en pahalı yiyeceklerden biridir. Doğada zor bulunmaları ve gastronomik cazibeleri, kültür yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine yol açmıştır. Trüf mantarları, Türkiye, İtalya, Fransa, İspanya, Avustralya ve ABD gibi ılıman iklimlerde yetişmektedir. Son yıllarda Türkiye’de trüf avcılığı ve ticaretine olan ilgi artmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada, Aydın, Denizli, Muğla ve Uşak'taki farklı lokalitelerde trüf türleri belirlenmiş ve bu illerin trüf potansiyeli ortaya konulmuştur. Ege Bölgesi'nde doğal olarak yetişen trüf örnekleri, saha çalışmalarından elde edilmiştir. Toplanan örneklerin fotoğrafları çekilmiş ve ekolojik ile morfolojik özellikleri kaydedilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, Ege Bölgesi'nde doğal olarak yetişen trüf habitatlarını belirlemek ve trüf potansiyeli taşıyan bölgeleri vurgulamaktır.
Bu çalışmanın hazırlanma sürecinde bilimsel ve etik ilkelere uyulduğu ve yararlanılan tüm çalışmaların kaynakçada belirtildiği beyan olunur
