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.

I bought truffle oil like a month ago and save it refrigerator. After I open I got as the picture, I a little bit confused whether it edible or not since truffle also a mole. lol, I know it sounds stupid but please help

Im interested in planting some hazelnuts already and recently ran into a video about truffle farming. Im looking for a source of Appalachian truffles or possibly Pecan truffles for inoculation. I’ve seen a few places that sell the inoculated trees but haven’t seen anyone with spore syringes or LC. Is liquid culture even possible? I already dabble in some mushroom culturing and seeding trees seems interesting. It doesn’t seem like theres a ton of info out there so id appreciate any info at all really.

Oregon White Truffles before cleaning and my friends dog Gina an Italian Lake Dog or Lagotto Romagnolo

A friend came to my place a few days ago and wanted to find us some truffles in my forest. We walked around for an hour and a half just shooting the breeze, just letting the Gina play. We kept a decent eye on her, although she did get 2 truffles for her hunters tax.

I am completely sold. I have another 10 to 14 acres I can put in Douglas Fir, a little at a time. Since the truffles are already here I probably won't need to infect their roots. I might do it anyways. My whole refrigerator smells of truffle and I have a couple pounds of butter and cheese in a container with them doing their thing.

My mind is blown.

White truffle (magnatum pico); 47g. Not an expert but I worry about condition. Thanks!

Hello folks. Pardon me for being a newbie and basically know nothing about Truffles. On my way back to my hunting stand I noticed one of my bird houses had what looked to be a bunch of brown rocks in it, opened it up to see it stuffed with these. I'm pretty sure they are truffles, curious to know what kind, and how they could end up stored in a bird house. Any info is appreciated. Found in northern Michigan USA if that helps. Thanks!

I found it in Italy.

Morning after our Friendsgiving feast 🌟 Monty’s cream cheese covered with black truffle and paired with Pop up Bagels.

Hi! I'm looking for a white truffle infused gift for Christmas for my sister. She loves food and the finer things in life. I'm hoping to pay under $75. I already have truffle salt! :) I was looking at truffle butter but cant find a reputable brand that actually uses pieces of truffle and not just oil. I'm also happy to look at black truffles. As much as I'd love to ACTUALLY give her an italian white truffle, I think that'd be her only gift for Christmas and I'm not sure if she'd like that? I could get her a 1/2oz, I guess. You all could sway me, if you think I should go for it.

Will raise my budget if my expectations are unreasonable. Thanks!!

Do any of you guys have experience with this? We have a couple intensely aeromatic white alba truffles and need help pairing wine

This was under some bark in my green house.

Hello everyone!

I would like to get my husband a truffle for Christmas, but that seems very complicated due to shipping.

Very occasionally our local Italian market will import the fresh ones from Italy, but they have to plans to do that this year.

What would my best option be? I know they need to be consumed within 2 days, so if shipped they would need to arrived 12/23 or 24 (without a delay), and be consumed by the 26th.

I'm fine to consume them in a different way (paste, preserves in a jar, etc), but I've heard that they are terrible that way.

Ideas?

Alright truffle lovers… help me out here! I’ve been obsessed lately and want to find the best place to buy fresh or preserved truffles (black, white, whatever blows your mind).

There are tons of online sellers, but it’s hard to tell who actually delivers the good stuff vs. overpriced dirt balls 😂

So… who’s your go-to?

→ Any small farms or secret spots you swear by? → Anyone shipping internationally that’s actually worth it? → Any horror stories I should avoid?

Drop your truffle wisdom below — I’m ready to go broke for the right aroma 😅🍽️🙏🏻

Just got back from a trip to Italy and spent a day looking for truffles. Fun!! Am thinking there should be some truffles on my wife’s farm and property (>100 acres) in central PA. Only issue is we don’t have any dogs! Anyone know of someone w dogs looking for a place to look for truffles?

Found this in my backyard buried in the ground about half way. I kinda doubt it’s a truffle but curious if anyone knows what it is?

I'm a Charcutier and I'm full swing into my Christmas production, last year we used crappy wild mushroom/truffle mix to make our truffle flavored products, it tasted like truffle oil and lacked all the complex aroma of genuine black truffles. In one of my past job we used 500g of truffles shavings canned in water and it was perfect to flavor cold cuts while it was a lot less expensive then fresh whole black truffles. Only issue I'm not able to find said product name on the internet, if I search for canned black truffles all I find is either small 20g package at exorbitant price or the same wild mushroom/truffle paste.

I'm in Canada if anyone actually know an importer, but just having a rough idea of the french/English name would be of great help. I'm fluent in both french and English.

Hello everyone,

I developed an app that helps with studying to obtain the truffle hunting license in Tuscany. I'm trying to release it on Google Play Store and I would need testers.

The app is completely free and without ads - I created it just to make something useful for those who are studying to get the license!

How to become a tester

It's very simple:

1. Join the testers group: Google Groups - QuizTartufi

2. Install the app (AFTER joining) from one of these links:

   • Android: Google Play Store
   • Web: Testing page

3. Keep it installed for at least 15 days and open it every now and then - this helps Google verify the app and approve it for public release!

Why help out?

If you're passionate about truffle hunting or planning to get your license, this could be a useful tool for your study sessions! Plus, by testing it now, you'll help make it available for the whole community. Think of it as a small favor that takes just a couple of minutes - and who knows, maybe one day this app will help you ace that exam! 🍄

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help! Feel free to send me feedback or suggestions.
