Fungi is fun (and delicious)! This particular fungi also happens to be a celebrated culinary delicacy and one of our favorite ingredients. Truffles are the edible spores that grow on an underground fungus in the family Tuberaceae. They're often confused with mushrooms, but they're technically not the same species (mushrooms grow above ground, while truffles grow underneath the surface).

The white truffle is the pinnacle of fine dining cuisine and very costly. Ripe with rich earthy flavors, this coveted fungus is found mostly in Italy around Piedmont or Alba.
