Mate no wonder noone gets to keep those bowling ball sized mushrooms if the little one is already 40 bucks

[@SpaceCadetKuba]

Mf I would’ve took off with that shit, looks like gold

[@stryke1989]

40 bucks for the little ones is a STEAL

[@zhangthehuman]

Gotta keep the business running and the demand high 😞

just leaving a comment to boost the online presence of the channel and be recommended more to non subscribers.

Why didn’t you just post an actual comment?

BTW, if Johnny thinks I am just spamming his post, he could have at least deleted the comment. But if you can see, he even liked it, meaning he understood my intentions.

Wow that's such a cool relationship and experience! The pup was adorable too though, love seeing this type of content too!

[@iMeemsPSN]

That’s really cool! Very informative and interesting info on truffles!!

[@tobennaokoli4450]

I would’ve just stuffed some truffle I. My pockets and called it a day.

[@cedricparson]

Yeah a 4 inch truffle is about 20k

[@evpowr]

This looks and feels soooo cool

[@ashleyann7516]

I was born and raised in Canberra and still live here and had no idea you can find truffle here 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Kaiju3301]

Gonna need an over the top Korean style Bloody Mary!

[@taylerjaye]

Welcome to Australia! I'm in the snowy mountains only 2.5 hrs away, have you visited yet?

[@Ash-zj9vl]

that's a Brittany spaniel and you're right they stopped using pigs because they would eat them.They now mostly use Lagotto Romagnolo very rare breed!

[@idfwy_ylsabiafwy182_GiGi]

I got a good friend named Tiffany Waller from Canberra 😀

[@IbrahimDary]

If you want cheap white truffles come to Iraq in the winter we have a lot but there’s a difference in Iraq they come from the thunderstorms

[@UNIQU3-YT]

If I was the pig, I would eat it too lol $40 for 16g 😂

[@cedricparson]

A 4 inch truffle is about a rough 20k

[@jackboom3069]

TIL Australia has truffles too. Not too surprising considering most of the people there are of european origin wether they came in chains or in planes. Btw, are u going to make a truffle syrup?

[@cameronbell7914]

These trees have been coated with truffle spores. It is not a native variety. Just a European variety grown in Australia.

[@early_morning_sd_team]

Dogs have been becoming more popular for finding truffles, as pigs can damage and eat them.

[@krzysztofj2059]

That truffle has a face on it.

[@alnabulsi313]

Drug measurements for edible fungi volume-for-price, is absolutely NUTS to me 🍄💰

[@trixer230]

So we paid people to harvest their crops for them and then purchased some of the crop from them....

[@angeltovar3323]

Nice

[@brittanyo5182]

Did you have to pay to truffle hunt?

[@oloxhossono1956]

u can’t just shove them in your jacket pocket?

[@lindsayoneill2892]

So are you going to make truffle jeong? 😂

[@EikottXD]

So basically you paid to perform free labor for the truffle farmers... Sounds really stupid to me.

[@MsBettyRubble]

So taking the truffle deprives the tree of nutrients. We need trees, so is that really a good idea to do?

[@rouaneb6664]

The trees are fine, this doesn't harm them.

[@burstnbubbles8163]

Plus it’s a farm specifically for truffles. I’d be more concerned with humanity cutting down forests than taking truffles.

[@cookie5535]

These are farmed trees that wouldnt exist otherwise. Not wild natural ones

[@yadajoku]

Besides, like he said, it's a symbiotic relationship, there's give and take

[@MisterJennison]

The mycelium is still in the soil… all that is being harvested is the reproductive part…that allows it to spread throughout a forest if it was in a natural environment…

[@Cryptex410]

They had you look for em then make you pay to buy them!?

[@MrJACarroll]

It's more a case of the paying visitor watching whilst the staff/the dog look for the truffles

[@stefaniewolf4268]

Also truffles outside of farms like this are quite rare. So it's basically the same as strawberry farms where u can gather your own strawberrys but still pay because they still did the majority of the work.

[@riBBon.ex.]

It’s the staff and dogs that finds them. Also it’s the exact same thing as berry picking. You pick them and then you pay for them (usually by weight) at the end.

[@Meh_Lone_Bah]

They used their own dogs, so more like a demonstration than participation

[@jeremykloepper9898]

And then you also get the freshest truffle which is delicious and well worth the $

[@TheXxPSYCHO]

They made you hunt the truffle and you had to buy it!?

[@dontworryaboutit4255]

They didn't MAKE him do anything. I think the hunting for the truffle was so they can learn the experience. Makes sense.

[@TheXxPSYCHO]

@@dontworryaboutit4255 but he wasn't allowed to keep any truffles he found and hat to pay for truffles... Sounds like a SCAM

[@FGuilt]

Why are truffles a million dollars a pound if they can be cultivated?

[@Rumade]

Because it's unpredictable. It's not like planting a seed and being guaranteed an ear of wheat 6 months later. Some mushrooms are very particular and hard to grow even with encouragement and managed conditions.

[@gabrielelarosa9247]

Also because the million-dollar truffles all come from a very tiny region of Italy, where they cannot be farmed and they are super rare and extremely more delicious than anything else out there

[@FGuilt]

@Baylon frisbee what is costly about it? You don't need a combine or tractors, dogs can sniff them out, you don't need a thousand acres. What is so costly? Doesn't look expensive to me.

[@FGuilt]

@Baylon frisbee because i watch yt. I think truffles are a scam. Massively expensive fungus. FUNGUS! You've described a risky business. Not an expensive one. Truffles are a scam.

[@doubled7302]

I love the flavor of truffle! I didn’t know they could be found in Australia too. I’d love to see you tasting truffle based dishes.

[@Nascarnate100]

They running quite a nice little tourist trap there. They make you pay them for the chance to find one and if you do find one they take it from you and if you want to leave with truffle you have to pay even MORE to buy one a fraction of the size of the one you found?!

[@سماء-ف1ت]

Cos that isn't their truffle farm

[@mlem7108]

Why would they just hand it out like it's nothing? If it cost $40 for that little bit, imagine how much the chunky one costs. I'd never go truffle foraging if I was forced to pay hundreds of dollars if I found something.

[@typicallyusual6984]

The tourists don’t find it the staff and mainly dogs do. If they made the tourists find it and won’t let them keep it (after paying ofc) then it’d be more bad.

[@strawberrymilk9096]

wait you're in canberra?

Do truffle cheong now

[@LeeRaySmith]

So y’all gave free labor and still had to pay for things or am I missing something

[@dallen3000]

I'm pretty turn you actually have to pay to help them

[@LeeRaySmith]

@@dallen3000 so they paid to help harvest truffles? That’s actually wild to me.

No because they eat like 700 dollars worth if truffle
