Another thing to note: Truffle is cooked very lightly- if at all: it is rare that you would cook it because a fresh Truffle is still a living fungus and that's where it gives off the scent.

I love the idea of selling it, but it should also be sold to Hobbit Bartenders (classy ones), Rhunic Merchants & Haradrim Merchants (Foreign Goods), and Dorwinion Merchants. Also, it should be sold to a orcish dealer, but for a cheaper price, namely perhaps a new chef-like trader could be added for the Orcish factions, like a 'Faction Orc Chef?' they would buy all sorts of materials and sell stew, man flesh, and other goodies

They should be sellable to Dunlending Bartenders, (and buyable from, but this would be very rare.)

There should be 3 types of truffles- being white, black and summer truffles.

The Summer Black Truffle's price would range from 30-75 silver coins a piece, and have a spawning rate similair to gold in warm regions- namely Dorwinion, Rhun and Enedwaith but can be found in other places, such as Umbar, Gondor and Rohan albeit much rarer (50% rarer)

The Summer White Truffle's price would range from 100-250 silver coins a piece- and have a diamond rare chance to be found in warm regions- namely Dorwinion, Rhun and Enedwaith but can be found in other places, such as Umbar, Rohan and Lindon  (50% rarer)

The Winter Black Truffle's price would range from 100-250 silver coins a piece- and have a diamond rare chance to be found in cold regions, namely Dunland, Ettenmoors, Taiga, Angmar and a much rarer (30% rarer) chance to be found in any mountain foothills.

The Winter White Truffle's price would range from 480-860 silver coins a piece, and have the same rarity as mithril, and would be found primairly in cold regions and nowhere else- namely Dunland, Ettenmoors, Taiga, Angmar and a much rarer (50% rarer) chance to be found in any mountain foothills

Of course, once seasons are added this can be made to be actually true to it's statement,

To make it worthwhile, if you put it in a crafting table, it will drop 9 'Truffle Shavings' (7 if white), which gives hunger points depending on the type (Black gives 2 hunger points, White gives 3 hunger points, and being Winter gives it a boost in saturation)  These are not sellable, and are purely there to make it so that truffles can be enjoyed in a barbaric fashion Thanks, that was some good insight. I'll change the merchants, but I'm leaving out the new Truffles, Shavings, for practical reasons. Thank you!
