BBC NEWS | Europe | Giant truffle sets record price: "One of the biggest truffles found in decades has fetched $330,000 (�165,000) at an auction held simultaneously in Macau, London and Florence. A Macau casino owner, Stanley Ho, made the record-breaking bid for the white truffle, which weighed 1.5kg (3.3lb). Luciano Savini and his son found the highly-prized fungus after it was dug up by his truffle dog near Pisa, northern Italy, last week. He said he was overwhelmed by the high price paid for his discovery."
