Truffle searching in Tuscany, Piedmont, and different areas is an exercise as thrilling as it's relaxing. Truffle hunting is a difficult subject. When is truffle searching season? Truffle hunting is the seek for truffles, edible spores that develop on an underground fungus. Responsible hunters will harvest the truffles and cover up the outlet so that the spores remaining can develop new truffles the next season. Professional truffle hunters won’t share their secret spots with a stranger (and even close relations) so don’t expect to spend hours in the wilderness with a dog and a shovel. Don’t overcrowd.
