Congratulations to my sister Heather Dawson on passing her #PhD qualifying exam at #UOregon this morning! So much good #TruffleDog biodiversity research done and in the works.

Eris small clip. Doing her #TruffleDog search.
Sorry it’s kind of dark. She is wearing a long line and searching for truffle oil scent (q-tip in a glass or copper salt shaker) in her backyard. This is the first one she finds.

We demonstrated that hard-to-see Genea #truffle #fungi are almost everywhere in western Oregon, most of the time.

Major revisions sent back to journal! I'm particularly excited about this manuscript because it's the first one I've co-authored with my sister. Also, I'm pleased we got to feature a happy golden retriever at work in Figure 1.

What kind of truffle do you think this is? Found last Saturday. Sky was really proud of that one. 2.6oz. We are waiting for DNA analysis results to confirm.
Yes, we had most of it over risotto. Delish! #pnwtruffles #truffledog #mushrooms #tuber #fungifriends

Dogs are used to assist science by finding wolf scat, for example, Japanese knotweed, clostridioides difficile and so much more. Pawsome.

A charming little white dog is looking straight into the camera and smiling, because she wants the photographer to play fetch by throwing her bright blue squeaky crocodile toy.

No eyes to be seen, but it's what goes on behind the nose that's important.

Truffle had her first away gig today, and did very well indeed, considering the distractions on offer.

A chocolate spoodle is giving all her attention to the photographer because she knows that a treat will be hers if she can just resist temptation while he presses the shutter button.

I've been truffle hunting with my #dogs and teaching others to do the same since 2010.

Hey there #fungifriends ! Two new species of #Truffle have been discovered by a #truffledog, and one of them named appropriately so as #Tuber canirevelatum (Dog-Found Truffle). This is a win for truffle dogs everywhere! 🎉 🥳

Success in truffle hunting - and any dog sport - comes from partnership, not control. When you focus on staying connected with your dog, amazing things happen! 🐾

Share a moment when trusting your dog led to something incredible.

We haven't had any rain around PDX for over 2 weeks, so low altitude whites have been quite disappointing this week. Don't be afraid of higher altitudes. The ground was frozen so mum & friends had to help, but they are there, fur sure! #truffles #fungifriends #tuber #truffledog #k9HTC #pnwtruffles
