I don't know much about them but you can get the standard truffle in the uk but in france  they have a black truffle which us superior therefore more expensive.

Imagine if you are asked to do some soil aeration to relieve soil compaction under some Oak trees. You do a PH test on the soil and find its in the PH range for black truffles! ." Mycorrhiza  is good for tree roots and reduces carbon emissions sir, would you like us to inoculate this into the soil together with the aeration?"
