Abstract

Edible mycorrhizal mushrooms (EMMs) are important sources of food and livelihood. The most expensive and sought-after edible fungi, such as Tuber melanosporum, T. magnatum, Tricholoma matsutake, Boletus edulis and Cantharellus cibarius, are members of EMMs. Cultivation of EMMs has made considerable progress in the recent decade with more EMM plantations being established and new species cultivated. However, cultivation of EMMs is challenging. To date, only a few species of truffles and epigeous mushrooms, such as Tuber melanosporum, Lactarius deliciosus and Lyophyllum shimeji, are cultivable, whilst many others are defied for cultivation. Therefore, the management and conservation of EMMs becomes urgent and important. This chapter summarises the recent advances on cultivation of EMMs. Progress in truffle genomic studies and application of DNA technologies in studying EMMs is also discussed.
