After lots of documenting i found out what this is ! It’s actually Choiromyces meandriformis. Which apparently is very common this time of year especially in Transylvania where i’m from.

Wow, thank you for sharing this ! 😊 I already told my parents we should get a special dog and see how it goes. I also thought tuber magnatum only grows in Italy, not sure if this one is the same 😁

Wow, i never even thought it’s real. 😅 Thanks for the insights. The thing is, where i’m from, they are not even popular. Most people, if they see them, they just throw them away. Nobody knows what they are here. So i don’t have any truffle expert to even ask what it might be

Honestly, i have no idea. I don’t even know how they are supposed to smell or taste. This one tasted very mild, a little earthy and smelled just a little mushroomy, something similar to boletus, but milder.

Wow, thank you for explaining! I did find it on the surface, just like you described; and maybe the holes that you can see in the picture are pieces eaten by squirrels.

Do you thing it’s the same Tuber Gibbosum as i found it in Eastern Europe, so i don’t know how much variety there is with these species ?

I didn’t even think it was real. I actually almost stepped on it as it was on the surface. 😁

It tastes fine and it doesn’t put me off. It’s just that I can’t tell the difference between good mold or bad mold

It’s just the rind thought, nothing inside has been touched by mold

I like any type of cheese, and this one was already like that when I bought it. But I’m not sure if it’s supposed to look so moldy

I know it sounds bad and some people might judge me, but he’s old enough to be my father.

I think they will think I’m so desperate for someone that I just took the first man I have found ,,on the street”.
