    Hello!!!
    I have found this website searching for help in this area.
    Sorry if it is in the wrong place or anything, but I am very curious.
    Could anyone identify what is this ? (see pictures)
    I found in south of Brazil and I am ignorant in this subject.
    It looks like a truffle in my opinion. Maybe it worth something?

    Or I may be very wrong, anyway I would appreciate any knowledge.

    Thank you.

    That looks more like a plant tuber (or similar plant part) than a truffle. If the object on the right side of the second photo is an intact version of the one on the left, I'd guess that you have a rotten tuber and a dormant (or dead) one. I have no idea what plant has such a tuber. I've never seen a truffle with roots like the ones in the second photo.

    Thanks Vitog!! I never saw a truffle here in Brazil, only saw in TV, and as I do not have any knowledge I thought it might be it... Thanks for the help!
