Description
Rhizopogonaceae is a family of fungi that typically take on a round, potato-like form and color. This is a ground-growing fungal family, making their resemblance to potatoes even more marked. Some species in this family bear striking similarities to the highly sought-after truffle, especially the false truffle Rhizopogon roseolus.
