   Truffle
   Truffles are subterranean fungii belonging to the division of the Ascomycetes. They look similar to potatoes, but their structure is entirely different. When old they become full of brown spores, much like puff balls, but when young they are fleshy in texture. Several species are edible and are highly valued as flavouring agents. They are often found under oak trees.
