A survey was done during 66 months (January 2010 to July 2015) in Tshopo province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the use of a vegetal specie called “Zila bokilo” in local language. This specie was identified as an ectomycorhizian mushroom, Tuber sp, used in cynegetic art as hunting bait in some villages in Tshopo province. The animals attracted by this mushroom include not only rodents ( 36.4%) among which Gambian pouched rat (Cricetomys eminii) but also animal of the Artiodactyla order (27.3%) such as the bush pig (Potamochoerus porcus), bay duiker (Cephalophus dorsalis), blue duiker (Cephalophus monticola); mycophagous animals such as monkey (Cercopithecus sp), turtle (Kinixys erosa), snail ( Achantina sp.), Thomas's rope squirrel (Funisciurus anerythrus) and curiously carnivore such as the jackal (Canis adustus). Tuber sp develops better on the roots of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei in sandy soil, not far from a river. Chemical screening of this specie showed the absence of toxic ions like oxalates, cyanides, nitrates and nitrites indicating that this mushroom could be edible. Its attracting odor could be due to the abundance of terpenes in its chemical composition.
