Notes:
The aromas of four relatively unknown, native Oregon truffle species were hedonically rated and compared for preference by a large group of untrained subjects whose only communality was curiosity about fungi. More subjects liked the truffle aromas than disliked them, but generally, most subjects were indifferent or undecided over the novel truffle aromas. Male and female subjects responded differently to the truffle aromas: most males liked the aromas, while most females were indifferent or did not like them. For individuals who liked the truffle aromas, no significant difference in hedonic scoring was found between male and female populations. However, for those subjects that disliked the truffle aromas, females rated three of the four significantly less desireable than did males.
