Apparently truffles are mycorrhiza and grow in specific locations and in association with specific plants, including some tree species.
Think about how long it took the researcher in this article to come up with a successful way to induce myc growth in specific trees. It was a decade or more to find the correct combination. Myc in bonsai might not be a "truffle orchard" thing, but I have a suspicion that it's not as easy as dumping a $20 an ounce bottle of magic stuff into the soil...
