Truffle Hunter

Midwinter is high season for fresh truffles in Oregon's Willamette Valley. With the help of an experienced truffle hunter (or a trained dog), I could spend an afternoon pursuing these wild fungi in woodlands near Eugene.

A French court Friday sentenced to eight years in prison a farmer who shot dead a man he thought was stealing his truffles.
