These are wild mushrooms that grow under old trees or in soils that have been altered by a forest fire. It may sound strange, but truffle hunters have noticed that they reproduce in greater numbers in these places. However, there is no definitive explanation for why this phenomenon occurs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts cap is often compared to a honeycomb; some even liken it to a small tree, and there are more imaginative comparisons that describe it as a little alien.

But why is the \u003cem\u003emorel\u003c\/em\u003e one of the most expensive mushrooms in the world? Well, because its cultivation is very difficult and there is no guarantee that it will grow. And as we said, they sprout after forest fires.
