Truffles, the really expensive mushroom type things that rich people eat. I read that they sell for $350-500 a pound and are hunted by dogs and pigs. Would they be possible to grow?

I know another mushroom worth 2400 a pound.

i believe the most expensive mushroom in the world is still a truffle. A white truffle, but a truffle nonetheless.
I'm not sure what's more ridiculous - that a wild pig in certain parts of Italy may be eating tens of thousands of dollars worth of truffles every day, or that people are willing to pay that much for what a pig eats in the wild.

its just the fact that its a delicacy so theres a sort of homosexual deviation that goes along with chewing the truffle

to answer the question this seems to have brought up, just ask your dealer what a pound of Z strain is running
