verpahhDescription
Looked at some pieces under the microscope. Unfortunately I couldn't get very HQ pics, but I observed the following: 1-4 spores per asci, 3 being most common. Spores 20-40 µm in length, some subglobose but most ellipsoid. Yellow in color.

Is this scleroderma before the spores inside change color? Slimy inside (but did not appear to bleed a latex).

Oregon Black Truffle (Leucangium carthusianum)Observer
heatherdawsonDescription
Fairly shallow in the soil, I did look for Douglas-fir but couldn’t see any in this predominately fir forest. However, it’s quite possible I could have missed one. Good condition for the size and season. Elevation 5000’.

Tuber californicumObserver
jonaleefDescription
most likely associated with Quercus agrifolia
This truffle had been nibbled and dropped: "squirrel dropped" seems to be on a par w "dog harvested" as this specimen had a powerful aroma of white truffle that I captured in a jar with a few pieces of butter, before dehydrating for a voucher.
After speaking with some folks in Santa Barbara, I heard a story of an older fellow who used to sell truffles to restaurants in Santa Barbara. Perhaps it was these T. californicum. Previously, I have not read reports of such aromas with this species. Perhaps because they have been raked for science and not collected with a dog or better yet an (untrained) squirrel!

Tuber floridanumObserver
heatherdawsonDescription
Initially found by a squirrel, many nearby digs suggests it was fruiting in numbers. Under an oak on the UO campus. Smells like Tuber lauryi to me, truffle like with notes of tomato.

wendy5Description
Three Clitocybeae growing in a mixed conifer forest. I tried making spore prints, and didn't get anything. I wish I were braver to actually eat the chanterelles I find.
