Truffled pat^s frequentlycontain these substitutes. They are detected by their color and thecharacters of the spores, although it is difficult or impossible to determinethe exact species. 422 VEGETABLES. The following are the common substitutes: 1. White TrulTles {Choiromyces maeandrijormis Vitt.) arc found inEngland and middle Europe. They are light yellow-brown, and re-semble potatoes in external appearance. The flesh is white to brown,with brown veins, and is but slightly aromatic. The small (15-20 /i)globular spores are light brown, beset with numerous prickles of unequallength (Fig. 326, e). 2. False Truffles {Scleroderma vulgare Ho mem.—Gasteromycetes) arcaeri
