You live in central Alabama and have what appear to be Truffles growing a specific area on your property-are all American edible?

While there are a few species of edible truffles found in North America, not all are native to the state of Alabama. The only species of truffle known to grow in Alabama is the pecan truffle (Tuber lyonii). This species is associated with pecan trees and typically appears in late summer and early fall. To determine if the truffles on your property are edible and verify their species, it's best to consult with an expert or a qualified mycologist who can accurately identify them for you.
