Popis: Truffle cultivation is important because it has contributions to tourism as well as other sectors and is a significant activity especially in stimulating rural economy. In this article, it is aimed to determine the most suitable oak species for the development of the Tuber aestivum Vittad. (summer truffle) and to provide guidance for the establishment of truffle gardens. Quercus robur L., Q. ilex L., Q. coccifera L were germinated, the seedlings were inoculated with T. aestivum which is an important element of Turkish biological diversity. The mycorrhiza were counted in the roots after the 15-month growth period of the seedlings to which T. aestivum was inoculated. As a result of the counts, it was determined that the rate of the roots with mycorrhiza (PT) was 0.93 in Q. robur L., 0.91 in Q. coccifera L. and 0.90 in Q. ilex L. Contaminated root rate (PC) was 0.28 in Q. robur L., 0.28 in Q. ilex L. and 0.30 in Q. coccifera L. According to the results, Q. robur is the oak species with the highest mycorrhizal development rate.
