The author is a Forestry and truffle specialist who has pioneered the Chilean truffle industry since he first became involved in 2000. Currently focused on the truffle production (Tuber melanosporum) through a investment scheme (Andean Truffles SpA supported by Sembrador Venture Capital) to establish plantations in the Chilean VIII Region, with the aim of obtaining higher truffle Volumes to develop the domestic market and exports.
This site has been created to share information with all people interested around truffles. The approach is oriented to the art and science surrounding these mysterious fungi also to know various experiences and progress on its cultivation in Chile and the world.
My goal in creating this Blog is to share technical information, scientific and practical also to exchange experiences and ideas with people interested in growing one of the most expensive fungi around the world … the elusive truffle.
