Ecological aspects of the arid and semi-arid truffle in Turkey: Evaluation of soil characteristics, morphology, distribution, and mycorrhizal relationships

Bu çalışmada; Terfezia boudieri Chatin türünün mikorizal ilişkisi, dağılımı, mikro-makroskobik özelliği ile toprağın kimyasal ve fi ziksel niteliği araştırıldı. Üst toprağın bazı karakteristik özellikleri; %54,73 kum, %21,97 kil, %23,30 toz, %45,27 kil-toz, %0,126 nitrojen, %1,848 organik madde, %3,78 kireç, 40,92 ppm P2O5, 613,0 ppm K2O, 28,82 ppm Na, 0,164 mmhos/cm tuz, 7,12 pH ve toprak çeşidi olarak kum-kil-balçık olduğu bulunmuştur. Askokarp özelliği (hypogeous, yumru gibi), renk (peridium, kırmızı toprak), meydana gelme sıklığı (nadir, seyrek), görülme dönemi (Mart-Mayıs), konukçusu (Helianthemum salicifolium (L.) Miller), geleneksel kullanımı (gıda, afrodizyak), yenebilme kalitesi (mükemmel, leziz), habitat (temel toprak, kum-kil-balçık ve yarı kurak bölge), taze ağırlığı (20-150 g) ve aynı zamanda askospor morfolojisinide (ağsı, siğil şeklinde küremsi, 15-18 μm, orta boy) içeren çeşitli karakterler kaydedilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; T. boudieri ve H. salicifolium habitatları, doğal koruma alanları ilan edilerek korunması sağlanmalıdır.

Türkiye’de kurak ve yarı kurak alanlardaki yer mantarına ekolojik bakış: Toprak karakteristikleri, morfoloji, dağılımları ve mikorizal ilişkilerinin değerlendirilmesi

We undertook an evaluation of the physical and chemical quality of soil characteristics, micro- and macroscopic features of morphology, distribution, and mycorrhizal relationships of Terfezia boudieri Chatin. The topsoil was found to be 54.73% sand, 21.97% clay, 23.30% dust, 45.27% dust-clay, 0.126% nitrogen, 1.848% organic matter, and 3.78% total lime. Investigations revealed that the soil contained 40.92 ppm P2O5, 613.0 ppm K2O, 28.82 ppm Na, and 0.164 mmhos/ cm salt. It had a pH of 7.12 and the soil type was determined to be sand-clay-slimy. Various characteristics were recorded including ascocarp features (hypogeous, like tubers) and colour (peridium, glebe red tones), occurrence frequency (infrequent), time of appearance (March to May), host (Helianthemum salicifolium (L.) Miller), traditional uses (food, aphrodisiac), eating quality (excellent), habitat (basic soil, sand-clay-slimy, and semi-arid zone), fresh weight (20-150 g) and ascospore morphology (reticulate and warty spherica, 15-18 μm, medium size). In conclusion, the habitats of T. boudieri and H. salicifolium should be protected by turning those fields into natural protected areas.
