On 10 August, in one of Latvia's truffle orchards, mycologist Diāna Meiere from the Museum of Natural History found a 90-gram summer or Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum sin. Tuber uncinatum).

The Burgundy truffle was found in the oldest truffle orchard in Latvia, established in 2008, where oaks and hazels inoculated with truffle mycelium brought from a nursery in France were planted. It takes several years after planting the trees for the mycelium to grow sufficiently and form fungal fruit bodies – truffles. The fruit bodies can form at any time from mid-summer until late autumn. Their lifespan is approximately one week, and if the owner of the orchard wishes to find the truffles, a specially trained dog must visit the site when they are ripe. It is best to check the orchard once a week.
