Trained Lagotto dogs in North Carolina are helping scientists map ecosystem health.

By sniffing out rare fungi, they provide vital data on climate change.

Man's best friend is now science's best asset.

Last truffle hunting experience day of the season - but a special one - a Périgord hunt. Okay, a bit small after the dry spring and summer but wonderful aroma and flavour. Join us next season. #theenglishtrufflecompany #truffles #trufflehunting #surrey #britishfood

Occasionally we get sent a photo of a British white truffle. THE white truffle, (Italian White) doesn't grow here. There are 8 species in this country and are very difficult to name without a microscope or DNA test. I think is the Spotted truffle. #theenglishtrufflecompany #truffles #trufflehunting

An impromptu Kalahari-truffle picnic One of my fondest memories of Kalahari truffles was a few years back when, on the way to a wedding in the Omaheke region, we stopped on the roadside for an impromptu truffle picnic. Driving along, we had noticed some women and children on the side of the road scouring the sand and stopped to ask what they were looking for. Eyes gleaming and wide smiles, they told us they were looking for !nabas – Kalahari truffles – and were happy to show us how. We followed the two women as they used their sticks to point out cracks in the earth, sure signs that truffles were hiding underneath. They gently dug around the tell-tale signs until a sand-caked truffle was unearthed. This was displayed proudly like a precious jewel for us to view, before being added to the treasure that was being carefully carried in the folds of a blouse. The group was happy to sell us their ‘veldkos’ and continued searching for underground treasure, waving as we drove off. Finding a good picnic spot, we pulled off from the road deciding it was perfect timing for lunch and took out our gas cooker, frying pan, onions and butter to get the meal underway in true ‘padlangs’ fashion. The onions sizzled as we washed off the earth from the truffles, cut them into slices and added them to the pan. Delicious aromas rose into the air. Soon we had our chairs and table out of the vehicle and were scooping up the fried !nabas with thick slices of bread – and, of course, toasting life with sips of slow-brewed Namibian beer. It was one of the most delicious picnics. The sun shone in the vast blue sky above and around us, the long, bleached grass danced in the breeze. Life was good. Kalahari truffles, commonly known by their Nama name ‘!nabas’ (also spelled ‘//habas’), appear in the Kalahari sands of the Northern Cape, eastern and north-eastern Namibia and Botswana after a season of abundant rainfall. They are called ‘the eggs of the lightning bird’ by the San of the Kalahari as they often appear after a thunderstorm. Upington holds a !Naba Festival every September, a celebration of the food and wine of the Northern Cape. The desert truffles are also found in semi-arid areas of the world including the Arabian Peninsula, the Mediterranean basin, North Africa and Australia. They are said to have been eaten at the feasts of pharaohs in times gone by. Like most other ‘veldkos’ (food from the field), dependent on the weather and seasons, the emergence of the !nabas is never guaranteed. You may be surprised to hear that Africa has its very own truffles, but although they have a nutty-mushroom taste, it is much more subdued than that of the more flavoursome truffles of the northern hemisphere, which fetch hefty prices. The !nabas are sold along the roadside in the extreme north and north-east of the country, as well as in the east. They can be found as far afield as Ondangwa and Divundu, where they are called ‘omatumbura’ and ‘mavumbura’. A small bowl of truffles goes for as little as N$20, a much lower price than in the city where a kilo can cost N$80 to N$150. Namibians countrywide enjoy the rich feast from the earth. The Kalahari truffle (Kalaharituber pfeilii) is smooth like a potato. A hypogeous fungus, it has its fruitbody growing below the ground. The edible fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of several plant species, most commonly the tsamma melon. The ripe fruit dries and shrivels as it is exposed to the sun, releasing minute spores. These are distributed by the wind, remaining dormant in years of drought. In years of good summer rainfall, however, they grow abundantly underground, ready to be harvested in the autumn. The post An impromptu Kalahari-truffle picnic appeared first on The Namibian.

A white Border Collie gazes at her most recent find - an Oregon white truffle in her handlers palm.

Trufflin' is always an adventure. We avoided this location for the past month due to a high volume of toxic mushrooms. Now we are back out there finding Oregon white truffles together!

Mom did a good job keeping me calm today. #TruffleHunting. A BlueSky friend told her because I am so driven to work she can try not being so excited when I find the hides. -Koda
This was spot on advice. Thank you, @calithemali.bsky.social
