Hallo,
truffles are supposed to be very expensive mushrooms, at least the ones found
in Europe. They grow underground and are difficult for human beings to locate.
People go with Pigs to search Truffles. Pigs supposed to have better sense for
smell, even better that dogs. Truffles are always located by pigs.
I haven't seen any pigs on the airport searching drugs, anyways :-)))))

Dear VijayShankar ji,
There are two genera of truffles which grow underground - Tuber and
Elaphomyces. Identification depends on colour, size etc. Some such ball like
fungi needs to be cut in half to see their internal structure. There is another
genus, Phallus which in its initial stages is egg like. When in B Sc we used to
confuse it for Lycoperdon. But by touching it u can feel it is mucilaginous
inside and cutting it into half will reveal everything. So just pics are not
enough to identify a fleshy fungus.

Thanks Satish ji, for the clue. When we were conducting botanical
survey in Bastar (Jagdalpur), we noticed some tribes (Kond?) collecting edible
mushroom. These mushrooms were not seen above the soil but were subterranean,
and these people were able to find the location and collect them, by using a
sharp digger. Right now i have no access to the photos. But these mushrooms
were small, 2-3 cm across, nearly globose and brown. Any idea about their id?

Tanay ji, Vijayshankar ji
To me this look like Lycoperdon pyriforme. It looks similar to one
which I collected from Jagdalpur, Bastar ( Chhatisgarh) when I was posted there.

Can be !! but without a close look and photos from different angles
I cant confirm a species if I do this will be ambiguous even spore colour can
differentiate a species in fungi . So I can't take the risk ..

Dear Tanay,
Lycoperdon ovalicaudatum seems to be a recently described
species, and no photos available in the net yet.
can it be young L. perlatum, the common puffball?
