Truffle hunters,
Please be respectful of the truffle patches. I was out the other day and found evidence of “commercial harvesting”. It looked like a tractor had gone through. There was NO effort to replace the duff layer that was scraped back. Harvesting of this manner is not sustainable. Great truffle patches will be reduced to unproductive wastelands in no time if people don’t do it right. By the way, if you really want to hunt truffles in an appropriate manner, get a truffle dog or a pig. A well trained truffle dog will take you precisely to where the ripe ones are.
