'''''Pachyphlodes''''', formerly '''''Pachyphloeus''''', is a genus of Ascomycete fungi (Pezizales, Pezizaceae) that forms hypogeous fruit bodies, aka truffles. ''Pachyphloeus citrinus'' is known as the "berry truffle" and ''Pachyphloeus austro-oregonensis'' is known as the "southern Oregon berry truffle". The genus forms ectomycorrhizal mutualisms with tree roots, usually oaks. Truffles require animals to dig them up and eat them, in order to disperse their spores.
