TRUFFLES INCREDIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS - This prized fungi is brimming with antioxidants, combating oxidative stress while protecting the body of free radicals. Throughout ages, this macrofungus has gained elevated status in the culinary domain.
With the identification of its components such as ergosterol, tuberosideanandamide, polysaccharides and phenolics, as well as the validation of nutritional benefits as antioxidant, anti- inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antimicrobial, and aphrodisiac, it is ranking high on cost factor; however, with knowledge is meeting consumer attention.
Yes, it has been proven that some truffles have ergo steroids, the most widespread fungal sterol, that can be transformed into Vitamin D in the human body - a key component of T. Melanopsorum - the Black Perigord Truffle.
Truffles are rich in protein, fat, dietary fibre, ash, essential amino acids (methionine, phenylalanine, valine, serine, isoleucine and threonine), and metals (K, P, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn) In addition, truffles contain volatile organic compounds (VOC's) such as aldehydes, alcholols, ketones, and organic acids (ascorbic acid) in various ratios.

Truffle - FUNGI - It is hypothesized that the mycorrhizal relationship is the primary reason why trees predominate in cool temperate and cold boreal climates. Fungi - what do they get out of the association. They derive sugars that are the photosynthates produced by the tree; it is estimated that as much as 10 percent of the trees entire output is provided to the mycorrhizal fungus through the root-hype interface.- thus known as the mutualistic relationship, as both tree and fungus gain from the association.
Through this relationship both the tree and the fungus thrive - the tree gains what is essentially an extended root system in spreading hyper (root-like fungi tendrils) of the fungal mycelium. this included not only an increased water volume for absorption, but also the essential minerals from the soil.
However, considered the most important factor for the tree is that the mycorrhizal fungus stores these essential mineral nutrients, notably ammonium (for nitrogen) and phosphate (for phosphorus, making them available for use during periods of resource paucity, like drought, or to support a period of rapid tree growth.
Unlike above ground fruiting bodies that can disperse spores, truffles rely on a host to associate with; deer. earthworms, squirrels, etc. Through history, fungi has proven to provide forests building blocks.

Garry Oak, BC native hardy stock Ducketts have successfully raised Black Perigord since 2006. The acorns are large and meaty.

Garry Oak is known to have a live span of 100+ years. Garry Oak are drought tolerant with a hearty tap root that is clipped in infancy to encourage root sprawl for upper truffle production. As the Oak matures, another tap root is developed giving excellent moisture/nutrient to feed the entire tree/truffle/acorn needs.
