The invention concerns a fertilizer to enhance the mycorhization and the fructification of mycorhizal mushrooms, in particular the tuber melanosporum. This fertilizer includes a mixture of non-ferment organic substances of animal origin (ovine excrements, fowl droppings, dried blood or feather powder), of organic substances of vegetable origin and essentially proteins and carbohydrates (in particular grains, flours, oil or cattle cakes or vegetable wastes from soy, cotton, wheat, rice, ricinus) and at least one alkalizing compound suitable to provide the mixture with a pH higher than 8; the mutual proportions of the ingredients are adjusted so that the C/N ration of the mixture is at least 10.
A fertilizer for enhancing the mycorhization and/or the fructification of mycorhizal mushrooms selected from the group consisting of tuber melanosporum,
A process for fertilizing truffle beds for enhancing mycorhization and/or fructification of mycorhizal mushrooms selected from the group consisting of tuber melanosporum, comprising spreading on the bed at a rate of about 0.3 to 3 kg/m.sup.2 a fertilizer having a pH of at least 8 and consisting essentially of a mixture of non-fermented organic substances of animal origin, organic substances of proteins and carbohydrates of vegetable origin, and at least one alkalizing compound for raising the pH of the mixture to greater than 8, the mutual proportions of the organic substances being adjusted so that the mixture has a C/N ratio of at least 10.
