Truffles Nutrition facts
Truffles
Truffle mushrooms are round, knobby belowground fruiting bodies. They come in different colors and sizes, usually black, white, yellow, or brown. They can be smooth to warty in texture on their outer surface.
Truffle are the members in the Tuberaceae family of fungi; of the genus, Tuber.
When truffles mature, they produce aromatic compounds that attract animals like dogs and small mammals. Truffle lives in a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of some trees. This symbiotic association called ectomycorrhizae. In this relationship, the fungi form a network with their hyphae around and in between the outermost layers of the root cells of the host tree.
