Twenty soils were selected according to their production of Tuber melanosporum carpophores: 8 samples were taken from the interior of the brules (the name given to productive sites, recognised by their typical bare appearance), with high carpophore productivity (2000-6000 g/year); 6 samples from brules with low productivity (100-600 g/year), and 6 reference samples without production, situated at least 50 m from the brules.

The fruits are schizocarpic with a carpophore bearing two biwinged mericarps (a rare feature for Araliaceae, arguing for repositioning in the related family, Apiaeeae), that are laterally compressed into wings.
