Description:
Globular, lumpy and often lobate with black-purplish rind and small irregular-shaped warts. Pinkish-brown flesh marked by a light-grey marbling of veins.
The spores are reticulate. On rare occasions, it may grow as large as a small hen’s egg. It is found fairly frequently in the Autumn under oaks, poplars and willows. It is gathered in Central and Southern Europe.
It has a very strong, pleasant aroma and flavour reminiscent of that of the T. magnatum and is appreciated for this reason by gourmets even though it is not adequately appreciated by the truffle gatherers.
