Tuber malençonii

La semana pasada tuvimos la suerte de ver una variedad de trufa poco común, se trata de Tuber malençonii, una trufa que fructifica en invierno y primavera. Recolectadas en la provincia de Barcelona, sobre suelo calizo, cerca de unas encinas. Como podéis ver en la fotografía se trata de trufas con un peridio con verrugas de 4-6 caras, poco prominentes y poco adherente, como pasa también con Tuber brumale. De tamaño entre 2-5cm y forma irregular, algunas de ellas con una cavidad basal. Esta trufa tiene la peculiaridad que enrojece intensamente cuando la lavas y cepillas.

La Gleba es de color gris con venas blancas que irradian desde la cavidad basal.

Se trata de una trufa sin valor comercial, pues su olor es intenso, a ajos y algo fétida, especialmente los ejemplares más maduros. El gusto me pareció poco intenso.

Podéis ver también las esporas reticulo-alveoladas, que sin teñir son marron pálido o translucidas, elipsoidales, y suelen haber de 2 a 8 esporas por asca, aunque mayoritariamente 5-6.
