Today, truffles are found in temperate areas of Mediterranean Europe, western North America and Australia. They find their way into some of the world's best restaurant kitchens within a few days (sometimes hours) of being foraged.
Where are truffles found in the United States?
In the United States, black Perigord truffles and Burgundy truffles (Tuber uncinatum) are currently being produced in North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Other farms in West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are close to harvesting.
Where can I find wild truffles?
Truffles thrive in moist soil, so search where the ground is often damp and/or spend the most time looking just after there's been a lot of rainy weather. For the best results, search 10-14 days after a heavy rainfall has taken place. Search near beech, fir, and oak trees.
