. Bring your dog and train him if you like! You will get hands-on experience in the technique of harvesting truffles! The utmost care will be taken in our harvest methods, and on the environment! It is also very important that we harvest only "ripe" Truffles, that is why I have set the dates for late February. We go by the rules and any permits that are needed is included with your registration fees. Quite a learning experience! Best of all- taste a special mushroom dish enhanced by the taste of these truffles!Update!!!
Newly added activities on this trip will include a trained search and rescue dog that can find ripe truffles! There will also be a special presentation on truffles given by one of the top truffle experts in the country! There will be wine sampling and truffle cooking demonstrations, and many other interesting things on this trip. This foray is already over half full, so hurry and don't miss out!
Oregon White truffles
Oregon Black Truffles
Italian White Truffles can be huge!
Two main types of Oregon truffles are currently harvested in the state, the Oregon white truffles (Tuber oregonense) and (Tuber gibbosum). The while truffles are actually two of the three species that fruit at different times of the year, but are often sold as the same truffle
