In August 2016, 2 Hydnotrya specimens were collected from Taichung City of central Taiwan.
One was found under Pseudotsuga wilsoniana, in a mixed forest of Picea morrisonicola,
Pinus armandii and Tsuga formosana in the Piluchi-Lishan region, while the other was found in a
plantation of P. morrisonicola along the Dasyueshan Trail. Both were at an elevation of 2500 m.
Morphological analyses revealed that both specimens matched the most widely distributed truffle
Hydnotrya tulasnei. This is the first report of Hydnotrya species in Taiwan.
