Up till lately we haven’t really been farming them, just searching them wild. Generally known as kama in Arabic, desert truffles are so widespread that Kuwait has a seasonal market devoted wholly to them, and in Iraq, springtime markets exclusively for truffles pop up in the southern part of the nation. Despite some confusion over the subject because of the truffle growing underground (most mushrooms grow above ground and their beneath ground elements are fungus, however not mushrooms), not having a distinguished stem or open spore bearing surface on the outside (most mushrooms do), and carrying out its reproduction by being eaten by animals that eat fungi (most above floor mushrooms spread their spores by means of the air) the truffle remains to be arguably a mushroom (due to its fruiting, AKA spore bearing, physique). However, many instances novice mushroom hunters will be standing in the middle of a morel gold mine and never notice it.
