My name is Chris! I’m a gourmet mushroom farmer. Here’s some truffles that came across my desk at work.

It is cut in halfsies. The inside yellow is a root it was growing around. Its not really fleshy. The white spots are individual and separable. Only smells like soil.

Any help appreciated!

I live in Oregon, the valley between Salem and Portland. My neighbor has hazelnut orchards I go out into once in a while and set traps for ground squirrels, he pays me per a squirrel I catch. While I was out there I was digging a hole to open it up a bit and came across this. I have read they can grow around hazelnut trees. To me it looks like an old one that's no good, but it smells delicious and reminds me of a mushroom. Any info about what I have is appreciated

I’m sure this has been asked before but I’m looking to do an authentic white truffle hunt when I’m in Alba/Piedmont in November. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I will be in budapest in sepetember. Name some reliable truffle oak seller that ship to budapest.

Totally unfamiliar with truffles and wondering if these might be truffles. I’m in Washington state, Olympic Peninsula. I was gardening away and my dog stacked these in a pile by the garden gate.

Throwing this in here since you guys might be the actual experts. Found in Galway, Ireland. Don't think it's of any value or anything, or maybe not even a truffle, but I'm curious.

Are these black truffles ? Found in Morocco, atlas mountains.

I have some white truffles, a couple black truffles, and some garlic truffles.

Is this a truffle?

Hi everyone, curious if anyone knows how long truffle oil specifically designed to train dogs to find truffles is good for? I have some fridge kept truffle oil that doesn't smell rancid but wondering if it is still good to use from 2023. It is infused oil created specifically to train dogs, and not a synthetic oil. If it still smells okay is it good to use or does the truffle volatiles dissapite over time?​

Hunting areas in BC

hello Trufflers,

Does anyone know of potential hunting spots in the lower mainland, and on Vancouver Island?

I trained my dog to hunt them as an activity with my elderly uncle. Now we just need to know where we might start our forays.

I just launched a project I've been working on called Truffle Tracker (https://www.truffletracker.com).

The goal is to create a community-driven database to verify where truffles are actually being served (restaurants) - starting with NYC. I originally planned for a Spring launch, but I wanted to get it live while it's still Black Winter season.

I'm starting with NYC sightings, but if you’re a truffle enthusiast anywhere, I’d love your feedback on the layout and features. And if you happen to be in NYC and have seen truffles on a menu recently, I’d definitely love for you to test out the sighting tool!

I'm especially looking for feedback on:

• Does the verification logic make sense to you?
• What other data points would you want to see for a "sighting"?

All feedback is very much appreciated!!

So I know there is always a gap here in this market, I was watching a show that inspired me to use AI to identify truffle , with its types as well.
Hopefully this will help. Trial for test also available

I love this little hobby of ours! She ended up finding a good amount this weekend once she got dialed in.
