Scientists in Western Australia seek year-round truffle harvest for international markets

A consortium of scientists and farmers hope the introduction of two new truffle species will increase the harvest window for flavoursome fungi. The winter black truffle is the most common truffle in Australia but can only be harvested for a few weeks in winter. A new program is hoping grafting spring and summer truffles onto oak and pine trees in the southwest will expand the harvest window into the warmer months.
