Bory's Anacamptis

The Bory's Anacamptis (Anacamptis boryi) is a species in the genus Anacamptis. It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes.

Tuber maculatum, the whitish truffle or spotted truffle, is an underground fruiting ascomycete with a white to cream-colored exterior marked by dark patches giving it a mottled appearance. It inhabits calcareous soils in temperate European forests, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with oak, hazel, and other hardwood trees. This subterranean fungus forms nutrient-exchange partnerships with tree roots and disperses spores via burrowing animals attracted to its pungent aroma.
