Truffles

Truffles are type of fungus that grows underground on the roots of a few species of tree in temperate regions

As the truffles grow underground, unlike mushrooms which grow over ground and cannot be spotted easily by the human eye. So truffle collectors use animals with a finely developed sense of smell  like  dogs or pigs to smell them out.  The truffles have a musty smell.

Since truffles grow with great difficulty, and specific species require certain environmental  conditions , they are very expensive, often  costing several hundred dollars a kilo.
