So what was the sex appeal about this fungi?

truffle dogs and break into their warehouses and it just i found it fascinating now they used to use uh pigs i don't know if they still do but they do have dogs and they've used animals to sniff these out because it's it they don't grow above ground in the same way in the sense same sense somebody might be thinking about a mushroom or something more typically found and used in the culinary arts

And it's funny because as I'm reading about your book, which I have not read yet, but reading about your book, it does have...

You know, you're talking about thousands of dollars per pound.

You know, you don't pan for it like gold, but you have to – it's not something easy to get.

The only thing you and I could seek out is, you know, bad artificial, you know, truffle oil because that stuff smells horrible.

But the real stuff –

But the real stuff, you're right.

It does have mystery.

It is it is it's got a sex appeal to it.

It's worth a lot of money.

It does take this triangle of need to produce.

So you have like a certain soil and certain areas with certain lighting and moisture and all of these things.

So, yeah, I guess that that would make sense to be at the heart of a mystery of source.

So tell us a little bit about the story.

Oh, you know what?

We're up against news.

Hold that thought, and we come back.

We'll hear about this new novel, Buried Treasure, and all the little nooks and crannies that go with it.

So go nowhere as I discuss this with author Nick Greenberg.
