That would be awesome. The truffle could be worth more than the plant. I'm perplexed on what it is. The plant is almost ready to flush, the plant looks extremely healthy and nice girth. I been doing this a few years now, this is new to me.its not a truffle is it?
It's the size of a walnut and hard as a rock. I don't think it could be the casing.i think its the seed casing
Most likely it is "scar" tissue where an injury healed and a callous formed. If you want to kill it keep jabbing it. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.I have never seen anything like this before. I was loosening the dirt on a plant and found this walnut-sized growth on the stem under the dirt. It's really hard. I was jabbing it with a chopstick. Any insight?

A smelly fungus that grows underground and fetches HUGE money. HUGE money. Buy a truffle hound and find one and retire for 3 or 4 months.Damn that's really weird. What is a truffle?
Probably comparable to a burl.Some times bacterial infections cause weird tumor like growths. Maybe this is an example. They make tobacco pipes out of hundred year old briar wood that comes from the root system of the heather that has bacterial infections.
It's really healthy. I was just loosening the top 1/2 inch of soil to aerate it and noticed a huge solid mass.Why would you be unearthing the plant? Is it unhealthy?
Blue Dream - approx 4ft. week 8 of floweringAgree with the seed shell how big is the plant?
Connoisseur's adore the taste, smell and texture of a truffle. It's a 'foodie' thing.What is valuable about it? Sorry I am curious. A truffle I mean
