What are those truffles like? I know they are prized by some, but never tried them.

very funky - kind of bitter and dank but very flavorful and unique
not everyone loves them but a big favorite of mine

put some very soft mild cheese in a bowl with one of the truffles for about 18 hours - best thing ever
the flavor of the truffle just infused right into the cheese

What is on top of the jiffy pellets? I tried jiffy pellets for veggie seeds and canna seeds, and lost most of them. It seems to me e they held to much water. It could be me, but I have had good luck with seed starring mix.

If I had to guess, it looks like hydrated kelp meal to me.

it looks like vermiculite.

it's vermiculite
my process for the jiffy pellets is; soak in water with inoculant (been using rootwise, just be sure it has trichoderma) then i layout the media in a tray with dome, put down seeds, top with a pinch of VAM (more inoculant, glomus varieties) then top with vermiculite
vermiculite is nice because it holds some water but is super lightweight so seedlings can just push up thru it
i've found this process greatly reduces damping off and loss of seedings during this stage - for veggies and ganja and hemp

i use the same process for popping seeds in rockwool or in trays full of soil, or cells... i always innoculate w tricho & glomus and i top with vermiculite
