“…[5] Typical habitats for both species are old riparian forests in the flooding planes of big rivers, dominated by Quercus robur, Populus sp, Fraxinus sp., on the alluvial soils strongly influenced by the fluctuating water tables. [5,8] The plant hosts, soil conditions and the time of fructification (in autumn and early winter) for these species appear to be the same, but it is clear that they must be playing different roles in symbiotic relationships of the shared ecosystems. T. brumale is a questionable species that has been reported from very different habitats, [6,7,9] this is why its metabolic symbiotic possibilities are expected to be quite different in comparison to dominant in production T. magnatum.…”

“…[1] However, T. magnatum productive soils have been reported to be nitrogen rich implying that its shortage is hardly the main reason for ECM establishment. [5,8] Therefore, some other factors may be playing crucial roles in competition between cohabiting species for plant root originated C source. These factors of competition may be anywhere between inorganic nutrients for which host plant may be in demand.…”

“…Truffle ascocarps have been explored as a source of nutrients of health benefits, [10][11][12][13] toxic elements, [14,8] or the most often, volatiles that are responsible for their specific and appreciated aroma. [3,15,16] However, if an ascocarp essential element content is compared to its soil content, it may be possible to estimate differences in assimilation of specific inorganic nutrients that may be beneficial for the host plant, at least at the time of truffle fructification.…”

True truffles (Tuber sp.) that establish ectomycorrhizal symbiosis (ECM) with trees in the Mediterranean and temporal regions have species specific abilities to assimilate soil born elements. Suitable habitats are usually inhabited by few truffle species, while distinguishing their symbiotic potentials appeared very difficult. Two species that commonly inhabit riparian forests in Serbia are the most prized one, Tuber magnatum Pico (Piedmont white truffle) and not so highly valued Tuber brumale Vitt. In order to assess potential differences between their assimilation and accumulation abilities, the differences between contents of elements that may be the subjects of the symbiotic trade between the host plant and fungi were evaluated in accumulation target (ascocarps) and their source (the soil). Essential macro (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, P, S and Zn) and essential trace (Co, Cr, Cu, Mn and Se) elements in truffles and soil samples were determined by means of inductively coupled plasma with optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Their concentrations (mg/kg) in ascocarps were in the range from 1.364±0.591 (Cr) to 10760.862±16.058 (K), while in soil ranged from 23.035±0.010 (Cr) to 20809.300±122.934 (Fe). Element accumulation potential (bioaccumulation factor) was calculated in the system truffle/soil. The statistical approaches were used for establishing the differences, while the possible differentiation between symbiotic potentials of two mycelia in the defined soil conditions was discussed. Keywords: Tuber magnatum • Tuber brumale • essential elements • essential trace elements • ICP-OEShaving high ability of absorption, fungi are able to take up from the environment many inorganic substances in a species specific way. [2] Accordingly, different ECM fungi also have different abilities of assimilation and accumulation of soil born elements and water, but this process is, in addition, controlled by host plant demands. Most ECM fungi form highly nutritious above ground (epigeic) sporocarps, aimed to be consumed by different animals for spore dispersal, but some species have specialized in surviving harsh conditions and adapted to forming sporocarps within the soil (hypogeic). In order to attract potential spore dispersing subjects, they usually produce plenty of strong aromatic substances so that animals would be able to detect them. Entry for the Graphical Illustration Twitter TextStudy presents the differences in symbiotic assimilation and accumulation of essential and essential trace elements in Tuber magnatum Pico and Tuber brumale Vitt. cohabitating in a specific ecosystem in Western Serbia.

“…However, such an approach revealed how crucial it was to understand inseparable ecosystem features like soil water, nutrients and organic matter seasonal dynamics, the size of the soil particles that define the size and distribution of soil pores, which further define the dynamics of soil aeration, up to the influence of seasonal leaf development and senescence on dynamics of nutrient uptake by the trees or their transport toward roots. All these elements are obligatory for appearance and fructification of the most precious ECM mushroom in the world, Tuber magnatum (Marjanović et al 2015) and a small change in these vulnerable ecosystem dynamics may lead towards species disappearance from the site (Bruns 1995) .…”

Wild edible mushrooms have received significant scientific and socio-economic attention in the last few decades, since they have become the subject of a booming trade business. Through last decades, Serbia, a small country positioned in the South East of Europe, has become a source country for extensive export of commercially important species of wild mushrooms. The data used for international analyses of national policy on mushroom protection and trade are cited usually from personal communications and therefore are not really reliable. Extensive investigations into diversity or ecology of macro fungi in Serbia have never been undertaken. The forestry sector, which is managing all forests in the country, has absolutely neglected its role in ecosystems while habitats of macro fungi have been permanently destroyed. There are only two legal acts that refer to mushroom protection directly and none aims to protect their habitats or diversity in practice. In this contribution, a comprehensive review of official data on research, conservation, socio-economic importance and legislation on wild edible mushrooms and truffles in Serbia was provided. Additionally, the application of existing legal acts on conservation of macro fungi and data on wild mushroom trade in the period between 1993-2016, during which time the trade control has been initiated was analysed. The currently valid system of conservation and trade control are discussed in the frame of protection of wild mushroom species and their habitats and measures for upgrading this system in order to meet the requirements of the sustainable use of natural resources in the socio-economic conditions of Serbia are proposed.
