Yeah anything that is very colorful or has flesh that turns blue/green when you slice it open and expose it to the open air is bad news.
Back home the oldies have stories of entire families of farmers wiped out over night because they had a big meal and all hate the same thing for dinner. Sometime differences between bad and good are unfortunately very subtle and that's when you get caught.
You know they use pigs to find the truffles. They have better olfactic sense than dogs and will find them under 300mm of dirt. They love the stuff. Ironically we also cook pork with truffle. Like sucks for them.
