(a) View of a truffle trap at final collecting time, with indication of the limit of the trap (dotted white line) and the position of a fruitbody developed at its ground (red circle). Photo credit F. Richard (b) View of experimental device after two years and before collecting fruitbodies showing the position of experimental traps (red arrows) all around the host tree within the brûlé. Photo credit F. Richard (c) Schematic representation of a brûlé on site 2 (Jonzac), localizing harvested fruitbodies (circles) in- or outside of non-inoculated traps (white) versus traps inoculated with one mating type gleba (light grey) versus with two mating type glebas (dark grey), and distinguishing the multilocus maternal genotypes according to the color of circle inside -(white indicates non identified MLGs) and the mating type of the gleba according to the color of circle outline (maternal individual; Mat 1-1 circled in blue and Mat 1-2-1 in red). All identified paternal MLGs were different, and are not represented for easiness of reading.
