Also, there is an indigenous North American truffle called the Pecan Truffle. It is native to America and found near Pecan trees… hence the name…
It grows in the south so if you have land in the south, and you are interested that might be an option. The market for these has not really developed yet but I think in the next 10 years, it very well might take off as the “Eat Local” movement takes off and this is a new potential gourmet food item. I really think southern chef’s will go nuts for this if they become available with some consistency.
