A 1.5kg (3.3lb) white truffle of Tuscany is displayed in downtown Rome November 27, 2007. Italian truffle hunter and trader Cristiano Savini spent more than an hour digging down 80cm (2.6ft) to find the largest truffle unearthed in half a century, at a countryside spot near Pisa. The truffle is expected to break auction records by fetching more than $206,000, according to the auction organizer. REUTERS/Tony Gentile

It just puzzles me how we humans ever decided that one of these things was safe to eat.
