The price of a pound of white truffles has averaged $3,200 in recent years, a number that reflects the rarity and mysterious reproductive habits of wild truffles, which make them hard to cultivate; the labor-intensive harvesting process; and their declining availability. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/culture-inc/food-drink/2007/10/01/Truffle-Eating-Guide?TID=st092007ab"><DIV>Wild truffles are harvested all over the world, from the western United States to China, but France and Italy, where they grow in open meadows and dense forests, respectively, are the best-known sources. These highly coveted fungi germinate 10 to 35 inches underground on the roots of any of a dozen varieties of trees. When uncovered, they look like balls of soil and range in size from a pea to a potato. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/culture-inc/food-drink/2007/10/01/Truffle-Eating-Guide?TID=st092007ab"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.portfolio.com/img/B8E83A50-B03E-43C1-AB5E-67965F3D025D" alt="White truffles" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E4817B35-7533-4D31-8AEF-D95DAD9CF486/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
