| | | Fragrant fungi and aroma transfer I have seen reports that truffles can impart a strong fragrance to other items when stored together. Whilst I am unable in my current financial situation to purchase any truffle(s) (and have no previous either!), I have noticed that some of my dried collection, for example dried L. nuda & M. Rahcodes give off quite a strong fragrance when I open the plastic tubs I keep them in.
Has anyone any suggestion that would benefit from this fragrance? Or would it not be strong enough to be beneficial?
Any thoughts appreciated |

| | | Re: Fragrant fungi and aroma transfer I'm no expert in this field. so wait for them to come online. but, on my numerouse travels to france, spain' and germany. I have experienced their use of fungi which is much more expansive and sophisticated than ours. In my experience it is always dairy products which seem to be used. I know that if for example you store fungi next to eggs or cream or milk in a fridge for a day they will take on the flavour and aroma of any fungi next to them. Many cheaper restaurants in italy for example will offer omelets trufely which contain no fungi at all just the aroma/taste imparted into the eggs and maybe a small sliver of mushroom.

| | | Re: Fragrant fungi and aroma transfer I have sometimes kept fresh specimens of Tuber aestivum (Summer Truffle) in a closed container. They do not give off much smell when collected, but when kept in a closed container there is a build up of a very strong odour, however I would not say that this is an attractive smell more a pungent smell this smell would probably permeate into a porous material enclosed in the same container, but would most likely would then dissipate when in the open, however, I cannot think of any reason why you would want to transfer this pungent smell to something else.
