Abstract

This study reports the finding of Tuber rufum, T. rapaeodorum and T. scruposum in Armenia. The morphological characters of the ascomata together with the climate, vegetation and soil features of the areas where the truffles grow are described. The ascomata were also molecularly characterized by sequence analyses from the ITS region of ribosomal DNA.
