Forestry research using the methodology of the presence of bioindicators of truffle natural sites is becoming increasingly topical. Some species react by avoidance, i.e. by the absence from the zone of truffle ecological influence (limitation factor), and others are attracted by the truffle presence at the site (existence factors). In the autochthonous flora, there are significant indicators starting from truffle symbionts with which they are interdependent, to the plant species which avoid them completely or partly. Among animal species, some are attracted by truffles and are used for truffle detection, but there are also animals which avoid them. Many forest tree species in Serbia (pine, birch, oak, lime, sweet chestnut, ash, etc.), by their ecological and biological characteristics, point to the presence of truffles.
