Description
Truffles are a fascinating group known for growing underground near the roots of certain trees. They have a symbiotic relationship with these trees, exchanging nutrients. Truffles are renowned for their complex and sometimes aromatic scents, which play a role in their spore dispersal by attracting animals. They're also known for their bumpy, irregular shape and are usually found in specific soil types, often in forests with rich biodiversity.
