		<description><![CDATA[One ripe bianchetto truffle, found for me by a rabbit, destined for tonight&#8217;s dinner. Nine grams, good strong aroma, just rolling around on the soil surface waiting for me to pick it up. Easiest truffle harvest ever. And there were a few more bianchetto in the ground waiting to ripen. This truffle growing business is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a strange thing. Our little Burgundy truffle truffière, which started producing for the first time this year, is also producing bianchetto (Tuber borchii) truffles. The truffle in the photo was dug up in early March, and I found it because it had cracked the soil above it to create a classic truffle &#8220;push up&#8221;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I nearly tripped over it. I&#8217;d just dug up a rotten truffle from the middle of our little patch of oaks and hazels infected with Tuber aestivum syn uncinatum, the Burgundy truffle, and was pretty excited. It was our first Burgundy truffle and it was rotten and I couldn&#8217;t eat it, but that didn&#8217;t matter. [...]]]></description>

The general idea was that they would take the olives and turn them into oil for the restaurant, and let [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve been stepping up her training over the last few weeks, and she&#8217;s become very proficient at finding baits (35mm film canisters with small holes, truffle oil on cotton wool inside) buried around the garden. But before I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

The death toll is climbing remorselessly towards 200 as teams of urban search and rescue specialists from all over the world clamber over the ruins of what was once a beautiful city, [...]]]></description>

I grab my dressing gown and join her under the door frame. Biskits (cat) is faster than both of us and has taken up refuge on our bed. It&#8217;s a bit like being seasick [...]]]></description>

This morning we had truffled scrambled eggs for breakfast with daughter, nephew and niece (there&#8217;s a bit left over to go into a ripe camembert), and I very much doubt there any more to be found. Rosie (left, photo courtesy of Trish Coleman from [...]]]></description>

Not bad for an eight week old pup&#8230; Here she is with the truffle&#8230; &#8230;which eventually weighed in at 188 grams, the largest I&#8217;ve yet found at the Hills (though a tiddler in record [...]]]></description>

She was more coherent than me, anyway. There&#8217;s plenty of fungal interest too, with shots of bianchetto truffles at David Powell&#8217;s truffière down the road, and picking saffron milk caps [...]]]></description>
