At the next Thursday Talk we'll hear about truffles - the emerging truffle industry in Australia and its Canberra region focus.
Truffles have been around for more than 90 million years and there are many hundreds of truffle species in the world. They mature in winter and provide winter food for forest-dwelling animals.
Truffle production is a relatively new and emerging export industry in Australia, yet in 20 years we have become the fourth largest producer of black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), in the world.
Wayne Haslam, of Bluefrog Truffles, will talk about his experience and understanding of the cultivation of truffles in the Canberra region, and his involvement in the Australian truffle industry.
The talk will be held in the ANBG Theatrette on 23 March at 12:30pm. The booking link for this talk is https://www.trybooking.com/CELUU
