It is autumn, and when one thinks of autumn, mushroom foraging comes to mind. Accordingly, I sought guidance from members of the “Mushroom Association” and successfully collected truffles called shoro in Japanese. Shoro are a type of fungus that parasitizes pine trees, characterized by their lack of a cap and stalk, and are round in shape. When cut, the interior appears as a white sponge. It is advisable not to consume anything that is not white. I washed it, sliced it, and enjoyed it in a clear soup. It had a unique texture and was quite delicious.
