Chinese black truffle (Tuber indicum) is rich in nutrition. However, commercial interests lead to the aroma components and nutrients of T. indicum being greatly affected by overexploitation without consideration of their maturity. This study investigated the proteomic and metabolomic profiles of truffle fruiting bodies at different maturities using a meta-proteomic approach. Among the 3007 identified proteins, the most up-expressed protein in the mature ascocarps was involved in the peptidyl-diphthamide biosynthetic process, while thiamine metabolism was the most differentially expressed pathway. Furthermore, a total of 54 metabolites identified upon LC-MS differed significantly, with 30 being up-expressed in the mature ascocarps, including organic acids, carnitine substances and polysaccharides. Additionally, the ash, protein, fat, crude fiber and total sugar contents were all higher in the mature ascocarps. Overall, our findings reveal that mature truffles have a higher nutritional value, providing a basis for further exploring protein functionality of T. indicum at different maturities.

True morels (, Pezizales) are a popular edible and medicinal fungus with great nutritional and economic value. The dynamics and regulatory mechanisms during the morphogenesis and maturation of morels are poorly understood. In this study, the metabolomes and transcriptomes of the mycelium (MY), primordium differentiation (PR), young fruiting body (YFB), and mature fruiting body (MFB) were comprehensively analyzed to reveal the mechanism of the morphogenesis and maturation of .

Tuber indicum is the most economically important member of Tuber, with the highest production and widest distribution in China. However, the overexploitation of immature ascocarps not only has driven wild resources of the species toward extinction, but also has caused enconomic losses and a decline in the reputation of T.indicum quality.

Objective: To examine multiple genotypes of Ophiocordyceps sinensis in a semi-quantitative manner in the stromal fertile portion (SFP) densely covered with numerous ascocarps and ascospores of natural Cordyceps sinensis and to outline the dynamic alterations of the coexisting O. sinensis genotypes in different developmental phases.
Methods: Mature Cordyceps sinensis specimens were harvested and continuously cultivated in our laboratory (altitude 2,254 m).

The Chinese black truffle Tuber indicum (Ascomycota, Pezizales) is an ectomycorrhizal fungus forming hypogeous edible ascocarps. As a famous wild edible mushroom in the world, this species also attracted an increasing interest in their chemical composition and pharmacological activity. In this study, the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activities of Tuber indicum collected from July to November at different maturity stages in China were analyzed.
