This whole video talks about how humans are doing the truffle's bidding by going and finding it, implying that we are working in the truffles' favor by eating them. Ironically, when humans eat truffles, we do not poop the spores into the forests they came from, so human consumption is not actively beneficial for the truffles.

So, I'm a certified executive chef. I ran two different establishments in southern Oregon. I've worked with french and Italian truffles my whole career. When I moved to Oregon I was very excited to utilize Oregon truffles. They are very inexpensive and look beautiful. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for Oregon truffles aren't even in the same ball park as french or Italian truffles. Not even close. Believe me, I tried. Everything I did with Oregon truffles didn't work, from fresh presentation, to making oils and sauces. It all end up with a nasty turpentine taste. The flavor in all truffles is delicate. You add them at the end of preparation. The only way I could do anything with them was to cook the hell out of them. Negating any flavor enhancement, and then just became a ingredient to add to a dish just to bump the price up. The problem is this: Oregon truffles grow on pines. French truffles, and the high end Italian ones grow exclusively on hardwoods. Big, big, difference in presentation, aroma, and most certainly taste. As much as I want Oregon truffles to be awesome, they are garbage compared to other truffles from around the world. If you want some Oregon truffles, I can get them by the gallon Ziploc bag full. Cost me 45 bucks a bag in 2018.... Edit: to all the people making fun of this man walking in the woods with a mask: Do you think that the camera is just floating in the air? He's obviously with at least one other person, probably a whole production crew, closer than six feet, and this was filmed during the hight of the pandemic. Which leads me to another fun fact about Oregon... Oregon has a lower HS graduation rate than any state in the south, including Mississippi.....

So we may produce things that look like pheromones, but we cannot detect them as pheromones.

But it’s also difficult to find, labor intensive and rare. All wild mushrooms are labor intensive and somewhat rare because they grow in special conditions.
