SUMMARY Cistus incanus ssp. incanus was tested with six Tuber species to prove its ectomycorrhizal development; the same was done with Tuber melanosporum and five Cistus species. Cistus incanus L. ssp. incanus formed ectomycorrhizas with Tuber albidum Pico, T. brumale Vitt., T. aestivum Vitt. and T. rufum Pico. The five Cistus species ( Cistus albidus L., C. laurifolius L., C. salvifolius L., C. crispus L. and C. monspeliensis L.) developed ectomycorrhizas with Tuber melanosporum Vitt. These Cistaceae may be used as shrubby plants and as colonizers in truffle cultivations; the variety of their environmental and ecological requirements is such that it would be possible to increase the types of soil and number of places where truffles can be grown.
