Are Humans able to Smell Underground Truffles?
    #11591219 - 12/05/09 04:22 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

Is it possible for a human to find a truffle by smell?

I know that hunger enhances my sense of smell, and when I smoke cigarettes I can't smell anything for a few days. If I didn't smoke and went hunting hungry, would I be able to smell truffles if I sniffed around an oak tree?

Notwithstanding what any bystanders will think....

Are you sure? Isn't that what makes a truffle so distinctive... it's pungent smell?

Does it not rely on this to be found and eaten by animals, thus spreading its spores through their droppings?

I think that I could smell a truffle. If I find one and manage to sell it, I'm donating the proceeds of my first sale to the Shroomery. :tongue:

If anyone needs me, I'll be sniffing around an oak tree...

animals tend to have a much better evolved sense of smell than humans. Just how evolution worked. Probably something to do with animals being lower to the ground so vision wouldn't work nearly as well for finding food in a forested habitat.
