Abstract

Two similar truffle species described by Vittadini, Tuber borchii and T. maculatum, were compared. We designate neotypes for both species, which were described microscopically and compared with fresh samples both morphologically and by DNA analysis. The results show that the collections, originally described by Vittadini on macroscopic characters and taste and smell, indeed represent distinct species that can be differentiated by peridial anatomy and DNA analysis.
