The oldest data on hypogeous fungi from the territory of Serbia date
back to the year of 1777, but first study on truffles and truffle-like fungi in Serbia
started in 1992. Collected material, fruit bodies of Tuber species had been
founded and identified and extensively studied during the last decade of the
twentieth century.
Despite the current interest in truffles in Serbia, there is not much
information about artificially established truffle plantations. The register
orchards of truffles in Serbia have not been created yet.
Thus, the objective of this study was the morphological and anatomical
characterization of an unknown ectomycorrhizas of host species Populus alba
from cultivated seedlings from part of a ten-year-old truffles plantation.
In autumn 2016, we were invited to visit and determine what kind of
mycorrhizae is situated in the plantation near the town of Požarevac (Eastern
Serbia). The truffle-ground (about 3,000 m2) is placed in Kličevac where a
plantation was established during the autumn 2007. According to the owner, he
bought commercially produced seedlings of Populus alba inoculated with the
black truffle.
