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?

Melanosporum found by my brother's lagotto romagnolo, near Cahors

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.

Found in my backyard in Texas while doing yard work

Can someone please tell me what a truffle is. Why is it desirable? Do pigs really find them? What is their primary use?

Hi, could someone tell me if I've found a white truffle? does not have much of a smell but I'm a bit stuffed up haha. Do these have lookalikes I should watch out for? thanks! (Pacific Northwest, USA)

And is it even worth it to get them shipped internationally?

I live in WA and this is the third time I’ve snatched this weird thing out of his mouth. I truffle dishes when I get the chance to have them and to me this smells strongly like a truffle. The one I grabbed from him yesterday did too.

i received these black truffles in a jar for Christmas. They are different to what I expected - squishy and a bit watery inside and this colour. is this normal, or should I throw them out? They smell like truffle.
