The Bugey truffle growers are optimistic about the promising harvest of this year, after a slow activity due to the pandemic for over a year. The number of members in the Bugey Truffle Union, which currently has nearly 90 members, has been increasing every year. The market set up by the union is used to promote and sell the Bugey truffle. The growers believe that the conditions this year are favorable, and the season looks promising. A sign of fungus development, indicated by the grass around the trees burning, is observed in more than 30% of the trees, indicating that cultivation is imminent.
