Are they any Mycologists out there

I came across a nice black truffle mushroom this past saturday. Honestly, I took it from a red squirrel who was holding it. It was about half the size of a tennis ball.

I hunt mushrooms and was very happy to find it. I chopped up part of it and had it on my omelette. I really didn't know how rare they were until I mentioned it to a friend of mine who is a gourmet cook.

He was astounded and said it is unheard of finding that mushroom in the US let alone NH. I gave him part of it. He said I just ate a $400.00 omelette.

Has anyone else out there come across these delicacies before?
