Under mountain hemlock just above a lake. Dry soil, but an area that seems to hold more moisture than the surroundings. Fruiting singly several inches deep, found by truffle dog Rye. Glue/banana odor, kind of sharp.

Found by truffle dog Rye, fruiting gregariously along an ephemeral creek bed. Some were visible without any digging (see the bright truffle in the creek photo).

Aroma predominantly of banana/starchy tropical fruit, with undertones of Kalamata olive. Fruit bodies dense, with rainbow tones in both the gleba and peridium including orange/yellow, pink, and purple.

Surrounding trees included mountain hemlock and firs. Elevation ~5500’. Notably, these were found a couple days after the first rains of summer/early fall.
