MICOLOGIA FORESTAL & APLICADA (MF&A)
We are a biotechnology company that researches, develops and markets technologies and products for the cultivation of truffles. We have operated a truffle tree nursery since 1989. Micofora provides consulting services and applies its technology worldwide. We sell and ship truffle trees directly within Europe with a plant passport.
In addition to Spain, we have or have had truffle tree nurseries in Chile, Mexico, the United States, South Africa and New Zealand.
Research, innovation and continuous training
Our company participates in scientific and technical cooperation projects, as well as research and development. Innovation, creativity and technical rigor guide our work, which includes scientific publications and conference presentations.
EQUIPMENT AND SPECIALIZED FACILITIES
Our equipment allows us to provide a range of services, including mycorrhizal analysis, DNA and molecular studies of truffle mycelium and mycorrhizal fungi, freeze-drying, and worldwide truffle mapping using geographic information systems (GIS).
We have different greenhouses suitable for the production of high-quality mycorrhizal trees. Since 1990, we have produced trees mycorrhized with black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), pines mycorrhized with saffron milk cap (Lactarius deliciosus), and trees mycorrhized with summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) and bianchetto (T. borchii), in separate nursery production areas.
Trees mycorrhized with Tuber melanosporum are produced at the research facilities of IRTA Torre Marimon, in Caldes de Montbui.
MF&A has an interdisciplinary team.
Our experienced technical team includes PhD holders, university graduates and engineers.
We partner with universities and research centers to develop new technologies, products and services.
