"A billowy body, but deceptive; in hand, heavy as a bronze balloon. In Europe, its insides, while still young and white, are shredded to make a "truffly" seasoning (hah!). In North America it is considered not only bitter but sick-making."

In publication, Page 52: "Reflections on the Fungaloids" by B.L. Williamson, Ottawa, 1992. ISBN 1-894572-65-3
