The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

And that's fair enough, when you think about it. The last thing we want is
people wanering about diggint things up from the wild... I wonder if that
would apply to truffles?

They're fruit bodies, aren't they, rather than the entire 'plant'?

Yes, but without fruit bodies, they don't spread.

Do they not? Some other fungi spread asexually - dry rot, for example.

But what I was referring to was that the Act says you mustn't dig up
plants, not that you mustn't pick fruit.
