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.
i don't know a lot about truffles, how didn't anyone come up with a way to plant and grow them yet?
Fungus is complicated
yes, but 700 bucks for 200g... if i studied biology instead of my current course i would definitely make it my life goal to find a way how to grow various mushrooms.
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/
That IS cool, but I can make a couple pounds of golden teachers in my closet with a spritz bottle and zero care, and trade them for many truffles!
Truth. I just got done making 3 jars of LC (Mac Galactic, Stormtrooper and Jedi MF), 3 shoeboxes of Stormtrooper and 4 grain bags (10lbs of millet) of Jedi Mind Fuck. It was a little bit of work to get all of that done, but neglect tek from here on out! I maybe spent $200-$400 to get a decent lab going, but that money will go a loooong way for many flushes, generating my own LC and making clones. (I like nice tools, but they aren't required.)
My goal is to expand into gourmet mushrooms as well as creating a lifetime supply of microdoses.
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.
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.
You do now, that's the point. It used to be basically impossible to cultivate orchids, then they found the trick to doing it (some fungus or bacteria or something), and now you can buy them everywhere.
Those are usually phalaenopsis orchids- the white button mushrooms of the orchid world. If you can remember to water them every 11 days and keep them in bright indirect light, you'll have a couple months of nice flowers and then you can throw it away once it doesn't look pretty anymore, because it was $9.99 at Safeway.
You aren't going to find habenarias at the grocery store. They need precise lighting, humidity and watering/drying conditions that mimic their monsoon/dry seasons, with proper differences in day and nighttime temps. They aren't that much more expensive, usually in the $30 range, but they are only sold at specialty shops, and are usually purchased by people who don't consider an out of bloom orchid to be ready for the trash.
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
pay that dog their fair share
The standard rate is 3 good boys, 2 head pats, and 2 slightly too hard rib slaps.
A one treat bonus should make this right with the NAAGD.
I'm sorry, WHAT. A one-treat bonus for a god-damned 7 OUNCE truffle!? STRIKE!!!
The National Association for the Advancement of Good Dogs recognizes their constituents needs for attention from their family over treats.
We also recognize that table scraps count as treats and know that if we have too many, we will go from being Good Dogs, to Bad Dogs, after uncontrollably shitting or vomitting on the floors.
While we understand some of our base wishes for unlimited scraps and treats, we must also recognize that the health of our members is paramount over gluttony.
We are willing to go to the table for discussion if you want to settle on two treats... But anything more than two will require a good faith act of tricks for more.
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.
