Trouble with ruffles A truffle is the fruiting body of an underground mushroom; reproduction is through spore dispersal, which is accomplished by animals that eat fungi. Almost all truffles are usually found in
close association with tree roots. There are hundreds of species of truffles, but the fruiting bodies of some (mostly in the genus Tuber) are highly prized as a food. A famous 18thcentury French chef called these truffles “the
diamond of the kitchen.” Edible truffles are held in high esteem in French, Spanish, northern Italian and Greek cooking, as well as in international top-shelf cuisine. The origin of the word truffle stemmed from the Ger-

magnatum pico) flesh is pale cream, or brown with white marbling. As of December 2009 they were being sold at almost $7,000 per pound. The record price paid for a single white truffle was set in December 2007, when a casino owner from near Hong Kong paid $330,000 for a specimen weighing 3.3 pounds. This truffle was discovered by Luciano Savini and his dog Rocco (a little touchy-feel-good element here). One of the largest truffles found in decades, it was unearthed near Pisa and auctioned in Florence. White truffle is found mostly in northern and central Italy, while the T. borchii, or whitish truffle, is found in Tuscany and other central Italian states. Truffles were rarely used during the
Middle Ages. During that period, in 1481, a papal historian recorded: “the sows of Notza were without equal in hunting truffles, however they should be muzzled to prevent them from eating the prize.” Some time in the last century dogs became the peferred truffle-tracking species, since they don’t eat them. The “black truffle” or “black Périgord truffle” (T. melanosporum) is named after the Périgord region in France and grows with oak and hazelnut trees. Specimens can be found in late autumn and winter, reaching 3-inch diameter and weighing up to 3.5 ounces. Black truffle production is mostly Eu-

man word Trüffel, which came from the Latin word tuber, meaning “swelling” or “lump”. Biologically, the mycelia of truffles form symbiotic relationships with the roots of several tree species including beech, poplar, oak, birch, hornbeam, hazel, and pine. According to Wikipedia, mycelia are the vegetative parts of a fungus, consisting of long, branching filament-like structures. Truffles prefer calcareous (high lime) soils, which are well drained and neutral or alkaline. Truffles fruit throughout the year, depending oon the species, and can be found buried between the leaf litter and the soil. The “white truffle” or “Alba madonna” comes from the Piedmont region in northern Italy, and Tuscany, further south. Growing symbiotically with oak, hazel, poplar and beech, and fruiting in autumn, they can occasionally reach five inch diameter and 1.1 pound weight. White truffle (Tuber
