White Truffle (Tuber magnatum)

White Truffle (Tuber magnatum), also known as the Alba truffle, is the most prestigious and aromatic truffle species in the world. Celebrated for its powerful scent and rarity, this species forms pale, marbled sclerotia underground through a complex mycorrhizal relationship with host trees. Our cultures are produced fresh in our sterile UK lab and are intended for research, microscopy, mycelial study and experimental cultivation trials.
