Of course, this is not the final list of all truffle sites in Serbia. Certainly, there are many other places where they have the same or similar conditions to grow, they just have to be discovered...
Truffles grow in symbiosis with higher plants (mostly trees) and they like soil with an acidity of 6.5 to 8 on the PH scale. The ideal conditions for the growth of truffles are in the soil whose PH level is just over 7, the Agricultural Advisor writes.
White truffles (T. Magnatum) can be found exclusively in the immediate vicinity of a river with a high level of groundwater. There they grow in symbiosis with oak and potted poplar. Black truffles can also be found in the same places, but not the ones of the greatest and best quality.
