No. The confection called a truffle is made from chocolate, butter and sugar, and sometimes liqueur. Very yummy, but no fungus - the two simply share a common name.

How much do truffles cost you need to buy truffles for your kids and please details And is there any best shop to buy them?
You need to buy truffles for your kids?I assume we're talking about the chocolate kind here, not the fungus that grows on the roots of trees. Which is good for you, because the chocolate ones are cheap, comparatively speaking.Lindt makes "Lindor" brand truffles, which you can get at Wal-Mart. It looks like a five ounce box (I'm not sure how many truffles that is) is about $3, and you can get them in white, milk, dark, or extra dark chocolate, as well as "Stracciatella", which is white chocolate with cocoa flakes (they look kind of like little balls of chocolate chip ice cream). They also have peppermint dark chocolate, vanilla white chocolate, hazelnut milk chocolate, and peanut butter milk chocolate listed online. Which of those your local Wal-Mart has I couldn't say.If you want to spend more on them, that's certainly possible too. Godiva sells boxes starting at $10 (four truffles) and going up from there.
