The third clue is that the truffle fungi need animals to disperse the spores. Look for the signs of rodents or other small animals such as squirrels and chipmunks have been digging in the area. Use a four tine garden cultivator to rake the leaves and other debris off the surface of the ground starting about 10 feed from the trunk of the tree working inward. Work to a depth of 1 to 6 inches.

A female pig (sows) become sexually excited when they smell the fungi because it produces a smell that is similar to smell of the sex hormone produced by a male pig. How Do I Store Truffles? Truffles should be used as fresh as possible but if you are a hunter extraordinary, then you can store them in a paper bag for several days. Never store them in a plastic bag because they will mold very rapidly. They also can be frozen in a glass jar or immersed in olive oil. The olive oil will absorb the flavor and can be added during food preparation. A dehydrator can be used to dry the mushroom for later use. Soaking in warm water for about one half an hour prior to use is recommended. Where Can I Sell My Treasures?
