Are there truffles in ...Cyprus ?
Are the wild mushrooms out now in Cyprus ?

THE AGRICULTURAL Research Institute (ARI ARI Acute respiratory infection, see there ) has invited a truffle truffle (trŭf`əl) [Fr.], subterranean edible fungus that forms a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship with the roots of certain trees and plants. The part of the fungus used as food is the ascoma, the fruiting body of the fungus. expert from Greece to train staff in using a dog to hunt truffles, in anticipation of the final stages of a four-year experiment to cultivate the highly desirable -- and valuable -- fungi in Cyprus.

Greek truffle expert Panayiotis Panayiotides gave a lecture on truffle-hunting techniques to ARI staff in Nicosia yesterday, and will give further instruction on cultivating and hunting truffles over the next two days at the two sites where the experiment is being conducted.

Head of the ARI truffle experiment Sophocles Gregoriou told the Mail: "We're all beginners when it comes to harvesting truffles, so we need this training." He said that so far the experiment has run for three and a half years, and the initial signs are that it has been successful. This means that the first "fruits" of the fungi may be ready to be harvested next summer.
