About the book

The Truffle Underground is a deeply researched dive into the dark origins of the world's most valuable fungus - from the scientific mysteries of their growth, to the story of the hapless French farmer who discovered their secret, to brutal crimes in the forests and the white-collar crimes that surround this secretive industry. Through it all, a question lingers: What, other than money, draws people to these dirt-covered knobs?
