The black truffle or tuber melanosporum, also known as Périgord truffle, is highly valued for its great aroma. It comes from a fungus that is under the ground the hypogeum.
Main characteristics:
Ascoma: rounded or irregular hypogeum depending on the ground where it grows. In loose soils where it has no obstacle to grow acquires a rounded shape. In stony soils its growth is hindered by the stones and to adopt very varied forms. Size from 1 to 20 centimeters, although specimens of more than 2 kilos have been found.
Peridium: adherent to the gleba. Brown black color initially reddish. Warts 3-5 millimeters wide at the base of the pyramid, 4-6 faces, with greater development the looser the terrain.
Gleba: purplish black when it finishes ripening. Fine white and very branched veins that redden with the air when the truffle is well ripe. If the truffle freezes, these veins disappear.
