Suggested move to Tuber melanosporum

edit

I think this article should be titled under the scientific name, as there are several common names, none of which are dominant in the popular literature. For example, the Field Guide to North American Truffles (Trappe, Evans & Trappe, 2007) refers to it as the "French black"; Taming the Truffle (Hall, Brown, Zambonelli, 2007) calls it the "black Périgord truffle" (but lists it under the scientific name in the index); The Book of Fungi (Roberts & Evans, 2011) call it the "black truffle"; the European field guide Mushrooms (Laessoe & Lincoff, 2002) call it simply the "Perigord truffle". I can provide many more examples from my library, but I think the pattern will be the same. Sasata (talk) 07:21, 30 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wrong Picture

Hi it seems the picture of the cut black truffle is a Tuber Brumale (summer truffle) and not a tuber Melanosporum (winter truffle)

File:Tuber brumale - Vue sur la tranche coupée.jpg was initially uploaded as "Truffe du Périgord" and then renamed by somebody else. Why do you think that this latter identification is correct?  Sandstein  13:57, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
