Edible native truffle?

Recommended Posts

What a great way to spend ANZAC day! Don't know about native truffles, or this one:

which yielded the most exciting discovery of the day: a very rare Amanita roseo-ochraphylla, which, to Teresa’s knowledge, was unrecorded in NSW

 

searching for Amanita roseo-ochraphylla comes up with zip.... very rare indeed. How is the prefix "roseo" used in mycology? A reddish variant or something?

I found a few of those 'native truffles' last week - under a mix of pines/eucalypts in a park in the upper BMs... didn't realise they were edible though.. the article mentions they're not that appetising?

The ones i found were slightly buried under pine debris, they didn't look like earthballs or puffballs, i didn't know what they were at the time.. seeing the pictures they look the same but i'm just going from memory
