DorothyJ Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have just dug up a fungus??? It is walnut size dark grey, dense and black inside not a bit like a puff ball or anything else we have ever found. I was listening to a programme about truffles in Hampshire which made me and wonder if this is what I have found. Could anyone help please? For the first time, we have found mushrooms in our fields which have been really delicious perhaps the weather produced something different!

Pads Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Have you got any photos of it you could post ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosub Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Get a pig to smell it, if it eats it, then it was probably a truffle[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DorothyJ Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 OK we have found a second one! Can't think it is a truffle so Ihave had another look on the internet, this time at puffballs. {I didn't know you could get solid ones} - so my "truffle" is possibly a Common Earthball. Might take it to the chemist tomorrow and ask if it is edible as the french seem to enjoy eating a wide variety of fungii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
