GUEVARA, Gonzalo; BONITO, Gregory  e  CAZARES, Efrén. Revision of the genus Tuber (Tuberaceae: Pezizales) from Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2013, vol.84, suppl., pp.39-49. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.31981.

Species in the genus Tuber have received little taxonomic attention in Mexico, despite its great ecological and economic importance. Only 10 species have been described for Mexico. In this study, Tuber canaliculatum, T. gibbosum, and T. malacodermum are described for the first time for the Mexican mycobiota. These species are distinguished by a combination of morphological and ecological characteristics. Illustarations and a dichotomic key are presented for the known described species from Mexico.
