I took your advice and Googled it.
From the wikipedia account, it's apparent that all true truffles are
ascomycetes. No true truffles are basidiomycetes. There might be
basidiomycetes which which have a vernacular name which includes the word
truffle, but that's like calling a cat a dog, or calling a sweet potato a yam.
Plenty of people do it, but that does not make it right. Jim

enough to live close to several local morel patches. Now I'm wondering how
those morels would go with braised woodchuck.
