Desert truffles are found in every known desert, irrespective of
the habitat - cool or hot, loamy or acidic, sandy or heavy soil -
the only common condition seems to be a limited supply of water. In
contrast to 'true' truffles, desert truffles have evolved over time
in different families, mainly within the order Pezizales. While in
some arid areas, desert truffles have been traditionally used as
food, in most regions interest has only recently been increasing,
and truffles are now treasured for their nutritional value, as an
income source and for research. This volume gives a comprehensive
overview of the phylogeny, biology, mycorrhizal association, and
distribution of desert truffles, their use, biochemical and
medicinal properties, as well as their domestication and
cultivation.
