The terfas, or kames, are fungi which in general appearance the white truffle of southern Europe, but because of well-marked characters they are placed in another related family, the Ter- feziaeece. They were among the earliest known edible fungi, and were greatly prized by the an- cient Greeks. At present the terfas are abundant in pai-ts of Asiatic Turkey and Persia, particularly near Smyrna and Babylon, also in the Libyan Des- ert of northern Africa and in the semi-desertic regions of southern and southwestern Algeria. They are highly prized by the Arabs, and wher- ever they occur in quantity they constitute an important food product. These fungi are found, as a rule, under certain species of Cidacece, although they occur associated with the roots of other plants. They are found more readily than truffles. They mature in the spring after the heavy rains, and as they develop rapidly, they break or raise the soil slightly, so that the locations may be.
