  1. Sibling scientists and their dog hunt for #Oregon's hidden #truffle biodiversity phys.org/news/2025-02-sibling- paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

    "biology and ecology of Oregon #truffles are largely limited to research done in the mid-to-late 20th century—before #TruffleDogs were recognized in the US and before DNA sequencing was readily available... There's a lack of data on #fungi, as we're not taking care of them in the same way we take care of plants & animals"

  2. Extinct #moa consumed colorful truffle-like #fungi in New Zealand phys.org/news/2025-01-dna-exti paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "In other places, #truffle spores are dispersed by #mammals such as squirrels. #NewZealand does not have such mammals; the #truffles there have traditionally relied on #birds to serve as a disperser. But because truffles grow underground, birds need to be large in order to dig them up—moa would have made perfect dispersers"

  3. On Sunday, the dynamic secretary general of the World Farmers’ Organization took our Senate delegation on a tour of Rome’s farmers’ market, near the Circus Maximus. We met with farmers and producers, and ate fresh caught mussels and local watermelon. Here’s a tiny taste of what we saw. #Rome #truffles #CampagnaAmica #AGFO #SenateofCanada #farmersmarket #WorldFarmersOrganization #WFO #soil #soilhealth #regenerativefarming

  4. More #FirstWorld #Poshosity from the #IrishTimes again? "Nothing says 'I really couldn’t give a rashers about you' quite like some Lidl chocolates with a price tag of €1.99 left on the box" Okay, maybe take off the price tag but I'd be delighted with a #LIDL #Irish #Cream #Liquor box of #Christmas #Chocolate #Truffles! Also NOT giving a #Rasher as a #gift is good for little piggies who just want to live their lives (rather than ending up on a #Festive table) 🐷🎄😜 😂🥓 😍 #FeliceNavidad #mastodon.ie
