Abstract
Iraqi truffle species were collected from different areas (Anbar District ). The truffle species were studied after identification. They included three species were studied after identification. They included three species: the first is the Jebbeh truffle (Terfezia claveryi), which has a light brown color; the second is the Haraka truffle (Terfezia boudieri), which has a black-dark brown color; and the third is the cream truffle (Terfezia nivea), which has a white to cream color. Samples were taken from the soil surrounding the truffles during collection and from the three species to determine their physical and chemical properties. The biomass ratios Fungi: Bacteria level from 0.107 to 9.080, depending on the way used. Based on the direct microscope process, the percentages of (fungi + bacteria) ranged between 0.39% and 54.78% and 0.25% and 45.05%, respectively; While these ratios varied, we conclude that bacteria contribute significantly to soil environment system compared to fungi based on the Fungi: Bacteria assimilation ratio .
