Hunting
Special T Truffles

Truffles are a variety of edible fungi
growing underground, mostly besides
roots of trees such as oak, beech, poplar,
willow and elm. They are shaped like
tubers and they are often compared
with potatoes when it comes to their
appearance. They usually grow from
the size of a cherry up to the size of an
apple, but sometimes significantly bigger
specimens are found (like the famous
Zigante Millenium weighing 1310 g). In
the culinary world the most popular are
the two basic varieties: black and white
truffle.
