Start date: octubre 2006 Objectives: Evaluate the potential to inoculate on mature hazels nut orchards with truffles (Tuber melanosporum & Tuber brumale). Location Castellon and Tarragona. Description: Inoculations were done in more than 4000 hazels with Tuber melanosporum & Tuber brumale. Subsequently it was followed by mycorrhiza analysis. Finally also we evaluated the production [...]

Start date: March 2016 Objectives: To test the truffle mycelial quantification using different treatments with organic products and microorganisms in nursery and truffle plantations. Methodology: For two years will establish several trials using different organic and microorganisms products were applied in nursery and truffle plantations. Subsequently we´ll monitoring the mycelium concentration by qPCR to assess [...]

Start date: March 2016 Objectives: This project aims to achieve the systematic production of Pinus pinea mycorrhizated with a special strain of Lactarius deliciosus, able to bear fruit in the pot from the second year of age. Description: For 3 years will make 3 production cycles with stone pine infected with saffron milk cap [...]

Start date: June 2006 Objectives: Technology tranfer to inoculate radiata pine (Pinus radiata) forests with Lactarius deliciosus and Boletus edulis edible wild mushrooms. Design and construction of digger-injector for direct inoculation into forest. Description: Mycoforest technology to be used on a large scale was adapted. For 4 years saffron milk cap and porcini mushrroms [...]

Start date: September 2013 Objectives: To evaluate the ability of a farm in Mexico to cultivate truffles, transfer technology to produce mycorrhizal plant, assess the feasibility of a range of local pine (Pinus cembroides) for cultivation of Tuber bochii and make a pilot plantation. Description: In a first phase we analyzed the potential of [...]

Start date: March 2013 Objectives: Technology Tranfer for production of mycorrhizal tree nursery with black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) in South Africa. Description: In a first step a potential for growing truffles in South Africa map was drawn, suing Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Then it began to transfer the technology to produce trees mycorrhized with [...]

Start date: January 2009 End date: December 2011 Microbiological analysis in rhizosphere of seedlings and truffle trees for possible commercial application: a grant Torres Quevedo PTQ-08-03-07858 was obtained. Description: Using a special medium designed by Dr. Xavier Vilanova, Pseudomonadaceae populations were isolated from wild truffieres over 1 year. Additionally they were characterized by PCR and [...]

Date: june 2006-2008 In Rivas, Nicaragua. To identify mushroom production initiatives and training communities of women to establish production farms to grow mushrooms. Technology transfer to produce spawn; to develop a substrate based on farming waste products (from sugar cane, rice...); facilities construction and farming management. More information More information [...]

Start date: January 2003. Project Description: At the request of the Government of Andalusia (South Spain region), the design and monitoring of works was carried out to transform a public space of more than 1 hectare in a Botanical Micological Garden & Museum. We recreated several habitats from Andalusia, in order to bear fruiting [...]

Start date: March 2011 Objectives: Technology transfer to produce mycorrhizal truffle trees with black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) for marketing in Chile. Description: The project is structured in three consecutive tree production cycles, during which they were transferred all protocols for the design and construction of facilities, sowing, inoculation and monitoring Quercus ilex levels of [...]
