## What is Truffle Buddy?

Truffle Buddy – The app for truffle hunting with or without a dog.

Truffle Buddy accompanies you on your truffle hunt in nature. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience. The app helps you learn, document and organise your own search. Learn which locations could be interesting, record your finds and build up your own knowledge over time.

ONLINE TRUFFLE COURSE
The integrated course shows you step by step our approach to truffle hunting.

You will learn among other things:
• How to identify potential truffle locations
• Which conditions are important
• How truffle hunting with a dog works
• How to motivate and train your dog
• What we pay attention to depending on the season

The course contains real footage from the forest, directly at various locations and at different times of year. New content and experiences are added on an ongoing basis.

YOUR PRIVATE TRUFFLE MAP
Save find spots and interesting areas on your personal map. Record GPS, photos and notes and keep track of when you visited a location. Plan search trips and document your observations. Your data stays private.

TRUFFLE DIARY
Every find tells a story. Record truffle species, weight, quantity, photos and further details. Over time your personal diary takes shape and you can see which locations and conditions work particularly well.

POTENTIAL MAP
The potential map helps you discover interesting areas. Depending on the region, various factors are taken into account so you get new ideas for your next trips.

COMMUNITY
Exchange experiences with other truffle hunters. Share insights, ask questions and stay informed about new content and developments.
