What edible fungi is traditionally found using a pigs sense of smell?
Truffle the survival of arid-land plants. This variability in climate has increased the mortality of "P. edulis". Therefore, the availability of compatible mycorrhizal inoculum can greatly affect the successful establishment of "P." "edulis" seedlings. Associated ectomycorrhizal fungi will likely play a significant role in the survival of "P. edulis" with continuing global climate change. Because truffles are subterranean, they are often located with the help of an animal possessing a refined sense of smell. Traditionally, pigs have been utilized for the extraction of truffles.
