Truffle underground

The truffle underground: a tale of mystery, mayhem and manipulation in the shadowy market of the worlds most expensive fungus / Ryan Jacobs, read by Ari Fliakos, 289 pgs.

Investigative reporter Jacobs digs into the full story surrounding truffles, one of the delicacies that take center stage in high end restaurants.  Truffles are a fungus that is demand...so much so there is a fair amount of criminal activity surrounding the trade. Also a lot of fakery and deception.  I found this book so fascinating I could not turn it off and finished it in only 2 days.  Expertly narrated by Ari Fliakos.
