Tuber aestivum, T. gibbosum, T. magnatum, T. melanosporum, T. texensis. Truffles have been found in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America, but only three species are commercially important. They live in close mycorrhizal association with the roots of specific trees. Their fruiting bodies grow underground.
