In the parks of Great Britain found truffles

Scientists discovered in the parks of the UK new species of fungi are not characteristic of the island's ecosystem. It is reported BBC News.

According to experts, 2008 is very different from the rest of the wet summer months. Such weather is favorable for the growth of fungi. As a result, for the first week of October, the researchers discovered ten new species, not specific to Britain.

How exotic mushrooms hit the islands, scientists can not yet answer. Some believe that these species existed in limited numbers in remote regions always, but were seen only after active rasplodilis as a result of extraordinary weather conditions.

Among the "new" species, in particular, have truffles Tuber mesentericum. These mushrooms are considered a delicacy, and the cost of one kilogram can reach 400 euros.
