Underground?
Biggest truffle I've seen was the size of a child's fist. Pricey. I
sometimes use the Oregon cultivated truffles, from filbert up to walnut
sized. I suspect you had a puffball.

Odd. I found some very large (think cantelope) truffle-like fungi growing
below
my pecan tree several years ago and sent them to a local mycologist for
identification. I never heard back from him, nor were my samples returned. I

suspect I now know why.

Are Truffles an Alternative to Grapes? North American winegrape growers
hope
pricey fungi will complement their crops

Are%20Truffles%20an%20Alternative%20to%20Grapes%3F#


Something I learned of recently, is there is a truffle originally discovered
in
Texas that is found along the gulf region to Florida, Tuber lyonii (formerly

texense) that is commonly called Pecan Truffle or Texas Truffle. It is not
restricted to pecans, but can be common in some pecan orchards. "T. lyonii
is
considered a white truffle, but it is a unique fungus with a flavor and
texture
all its own. There has been interest in these truffles from a culinary
standpoint, and indeed a variety of chefs have experimented with them. The
general feeling is that they are very good and have potential as a food
commodity."
