Truffle

(Tuber borchii vittadini or Tuber albidum vittadini)

Its outside is confusingly similar to the real white truffle and they like to call it its forgery. Luckily they do not ripen at the same time. The surface is smooth and pale-white and the fruit layer is brown with rough veins. It is collected from the middle of January to the end of April and often also called the white spring truffle.

It has a very distinct (but not so intense) rather sharp and not as complete aroma as the real white truffle.
