Phylogeny of fungi phylogeny of asco- and basidiomycetes with focus on taxa with hypogeous fruiting bodies, truffles, based on a combination of several published studies (Læssøe and Hansen 2007; Hibbet et al. 2007; Celio et al. 2006). Taxa labeled in blue with ∙ indicate evolutionary groups that have developed truffles. The most well known truffle-producing family, Tuberaceae, comprising the edible white and Burgundy truffles is further emphasized in bold lettering. Figure by Christina Wedén and Anders Backlund
