Truffles are subterranean fungi found in temperate European forests and command vast prices as much sought-after gastronomic delicacies. The most expensive one sold at auction was a white truffle (tuber magnatum pico) unearthed in Pisa, Italy, on 23 November 2007 by Cristiano and Luciano Savini (Both Italy). Weighing approximately 1.3 kg (2 lb 13 oz), it was bought by Stanley Ho bidding by phone via his wife Angela Leong (both China) for US$330,000 (£160,000) in a simultaneous auction between Macau, London and Florence, at the Grand Lisboa Hotel, Macau, China, on 1 December 2007.
