Good dog.
She is the rarest truffle.
I thought this was a failed 3d print of the dog at first.
I thought it was a pile of shit
Who’s a good boy you just laid a 7oz turd? You are! yes you are! Yousa good boy!
I thought it was a puppy fetus, which had me upset for a sec
How much is that worth
Google says, depending on grade, around $600-$700 USD.

They’ve tried… Truffles are particularly complicated
Lawl imagine if you could just inject some truffle spores into a packet of Uncle Ben’s, then poop it into some dirt.
Then again, growing a batch of golden teachers will net you enough flushes to trade for a truffle like this.
You can farm truffles. From what I have just read, as long as you have enough land, proper soil conditions and the correct trees, you should be good. (Truffle mycelium is dependent on the tree type it grows around.)
Here is a decent intro: https://trufflefarms.com/guide-to-truffle-farming/
It’s that expensive because it’s hard to farm. If it can be reliably farmed the price would likely go down.

Weird because this grocery store I’d go to always had a ton of orchids on sale. For cheap.
There are some truffle farms, but not many and it’s not clear yet that they are profitable since truffle growth takes a long time and a lot of land. The process all together sounds pretty fickle.
Yeah but the whole reason for the price is because these are a pain to grow
As far as I am aware they already do… But still needs certain conditions certain trees etc. And certain years before they appear.
I saw the image before I read the title and for a split second I thought that was something that had been removed from inside the dog lol
I thought it was a poop

That dog gets at least an ounce of that truffle or all dog work remains on hold.
Why would you just post this publicly? What do you want dogs unionizing?!
(Not op but…) Better than cats unionizing. Oh good gods imagine the chaos.
Felines are largely incapable of organizing (see: “herding cats”), though some wild varieties have been observed subjugating a single breeding male for babysitting/guard duties while the females hunt and otherwise run shit.
Sources quote a lack of motivation and need for performing micromanagement as the source of no cat unions.
