I love all fungi but have a particular interest in truffles, and thanks to my truffle dog Rye I get to see and smell a pretty incredible variety of species every time we go out to the woods. I try to share the most interesting finds here. Rye has found 30+ truffle genera and shares new species with me on a regular basis, he is continually expanding his truffle aroma repertoire.

My favorite genus is Tuber. Rye's favorites are Leucangium/Hydnotrya. He will locate both from great distances!

My profile picture is my first truffle dog, Cricket, with one of her first black truffle finds. Leucangium was her favorite as well. Rye learned from Cricket when he was a puppy.
