25, see text Elaphomyces (‘deer truffles’) is a genus of hypogeous fungi in the family Elaphomycetaceae.

The widespread genus contains 25 truffle-like species.

[2] Elaphomyces is one of the most important ectomycorrhizal fungal genera in temperate and subarctic forest ecosystems.

[3] E. asperulus, E. granulatus, and E. muricatus were found to accumulate arsenic (12–660 mg/kg in dry mass); the composition of organoarsenicals is very unusual, with methylarsonic acid and trimethylarsine oxide as major As compounds.
