A bandicoot was eating them that grow under wet fallen leaves on the ground near the footpath. After he moved away, I rolled them out of the leaves with a stick to take photos for identification. Later, the bandicoot came back and ate them. The bandicoot record is https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4570949

One of our native truffles. There is a thin white skin over a chambered, light brown interior. In some of the specimens bits of the skin have broken/eroded/ben eaten away and you can see a little of the interior.

Thank you for your comment. I added a photo of the bandicoot eating one of the truffles. You can see dark brown colour inside. Does this help narrowing the truffle species?

Unfortunately there's more than one genus in which you find truffles with white exteriors and brown interiors.
