What exactly is a truffle?

Truffle (English: Truffle) is a mushroom, a fungus like mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum. It is classified into the genus Truffle (scientific name: Tuber) in the family Ascomycota, family Truffleidae, and there are about 10 different species. Most truffles grow filamentously on the roots of broad-leaved trees and are spread over a radius of 120 to 150 centimeters at the bottom of the tree. The massive main body is hidden 5 to 40 centimeters underground.

Truffles have a special aroma that has fascinated many people since ancient times.

The aroma was once described as “unprecedented in the world. It’s a bit unbelievable. It’s the same as most people with excellent smells.” The penetrating power of the smell is also very strong. Amazingly, it can penetrate layers of paper and even plastic bags. Just a light sniff is enough. If you smoke it more strongly, it will be too much and will make you lose your appetite because the smell is so strong and smelly.
