Lucille Groulx walks with her dog Minoune in search of truffles.
A new variety of native edible truffles was discovered by a Franco-Ontarian farmer in Wendover, Ont.Posted: Oct 22, 2023 4:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: 1 hour agoSocial Sharing
Burgundy truffles were ideal, Groulx said, as they were well adapted to Ontario's climate and would help protect her oak and hazel trees against disease."I planted Burgundy truffles, then I found another truffle," she said in French. "You know, you plant red potatoes, you find white potatoes."Groulx, a former pharmacy technician, rushed to have the truffle analyzed to ensure it was edible.
Groulx fell in love with the lifestyle associated with truffle harvesting. Its interior is made up of hazelnut-coloured marbling, while its exterior envelope is pale brown in colour, Groulx said. "The biggest competitors for truffles when you set up a truffle farm are other types of truffles," Lemire-Comeau said, adding her native truffles are now supplanting the ones from Burgundy.
