Why do truffles go bad so quickly? Since they spend 6-10 years in the dirt, why not just ship them in the same dirt, so they'll keep longer?
I do not have any soil in the ground, but I do have a big space.
I want to create a truffle tree, can I use Japanese larch as a host?
I’m a beginner at gardening and growing plants and I want to grow truffles, what are some easy methods to grow it?, and can I grow it from itself “like a potato”?
I have had 3 stellar days this week with my dog in Oregon, and have brought home about a pound of white truffles. With the ground still being fairly wet, most come home a bit muddy. I have let them dry then tried brushing off the dirt, but it isn't working as well as I had hoped. I am thinking maybe I should clean them before the mud dries. How do you best clean your fresh truffles?
Hi all, new to the community and recently just went on a truffle hunt here on a US based farm. It was a great experience but I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t as hands-on as I would’ve liked it to be (it was more observation based so we didn’t really dig for the truffles ourselves, or learn how to wash/handle them). Additionally, I understand that they’re expensive, but it would’ve been nice to take home at least a little bit of what we found on the hunt (considering what I paid for the experience), even if they were just shavings. Anyway, wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for truffle hunting tours, either in the US or Europe. In a perfect world, I’d like to get the most out of what I pay for, such as getting to keep some truffles we find and having a post-hunt cooking course. Would love to hear about any experiences you all have had!
So I had the option of ordering a frozen black truffle that was described as "smaller than 20g" for 25$, and one that is "bigger than 20g" for 32$, and I went for the larger option. Upon receiving it, the package contains 10 black truffles that are 3-4cm in diameter each, and collectively weigh roughly 270g. Did someone majorly screw up?
For anybody interested in following the truffle scene here on the east coast I made a separate Reddit for that, same name just _baltimore on the end
Hello, I have a question regarding the Tuber Melanosporum from Spain, are they banning the export/stopping hunting in march? My supplier is saying some pretty fishy stuff & I think he’s trying to gatekeep them for other clients (he’s an actual ahole/ f** but I have to buy off him bc I know no other, I don’t fully believe him tho because he’s now switched twice on the reason why
im really not a dog person which is why im searching for a way to train a cat for it

Hi there, looking for a decent source to try inoculating my own seedlings. It looks like most of the sources selling spores are EU/UK based and am wondering if anyone the US had any success with them. Also curious if anyone has a decent US based spore source.
Thanks!
