Bobak Marmot

The Bobak Marmot (Marmota bobak) is a species in the genus Marmota. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Distributed across Russia and Ukraine.

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.
