It is possible, but the requisite combination of soils and summer
heat does not really occur in the UK. We are just a bit too cold
for them.

And that is Tuber melanosporum (the black truffle). We are far
too cold for Tuber magnatum (the white truffle). There may be
some worthless truffles native to the UK, and just possibly the
marginal Tuber aestivum (the summer truffle).

Nick Maclaren.

They are prolific down in the Dordogne.......
