abstract = {Truffles in the genus Tuber are hypogeus fungi that have a worldwide distribution. Despite this, knowledge about their diversity in the Middle East is very limited. In recent years, large quantities of truffles have been imported from Iran for being sold in Italy. While analyzing certain commercial batches of T. aestivum from Iran, we found some ascomata that resembled T. excavatum, but had macro- and micro-morphological features that were distinct from this species. They were subglobose, or depressed to slightly irregular, with a conspicuous basal cavity, greyish-brown, brown or pinkish-grey, with a minutely papillose peridium. The gleba was pinkish-grey in youth, brown at maturity, marbled with cream branched veins. Ascospores were broadly ellipsoid with an irregular reticulum and distinctive long crests along the longitudinal axis, until 9 ?m high. Analysis of ITS and LSU rDNA sequences showed that these specimens form a monphyletic and well supported taxon within the Excavatum clade. Morphological and molecular analyses supported the proposal of the new species T. iranicum.}
