Yes, one of the two kinds of truffles are vegetables.

The vegetable truffle is similar to a mushroom and comes in a couple of different varities (as mushrooms do); they are generally classified as either white or black truffles.

The other kind of truffle is simply a chocolate ball. These can be any color of chocolate and filled or decorated with any type of candy the creator imagines. A traditional chocolate truffle is often dusted with coco to further immitate a natural truffle by making it look "dusty" (natural truffles are dug from the ground).

The only similarity between natural (vegetable) truffles and the chocolate ones is their size and shape. The name of chocolate truffle is meant to invoke thoughts that they use the highest quality chocolate and should therefore be more expensive than other chocolates. It plays on the idea due to the high price of natural truffles. The reality is modern chocolate truffles can be of any quality chocolate and the term has little meaning beyond its shape.
